Argan oil is one of the most popular beauty oils out there, and spoiler alert: it’s for good reason. It’s great on skin, cuticles, nails, and hair - here’s why.
First, like all oils, argan oil is an incredibly effective emollient and occlusive. This means that it helps to lock in hydration to the skin, preventing water loss and ensuring that skin stays hydrated and supple - especially paired with something that has hyaluronic acid. As an emollient, it helps to soften skin and banish any rough dry spots for touchable, super-smooth skin.
It has these unique abilities thanks to a blend of fatty acids and phenols that only argan oil has. It features higher levels of oleic acid compared to other oils, giving argan oil its unique rich nourishing texture.
