Why Argan oil is expensive?
It takes 70kg of the Argan fruit to have 20 kg of the cores then only to extract 1litre of pure Argan oil. The Argan fruit grows organically in the desert in Morocco, but only in certain parts. Namely Sous valley in the south of Morocco.
​
Collecting the Argan fruit and splitting the core is a hard manual process. The extraction process must avoid any chemicals to preserve the organic nature of the product.

Why there is cheap Argan oil in the market?
Our company founders spend more than six months of field investigation in Morocco to understand why there is a wide range of cheap Argan oil offered in the market.
The investigation found that some producers, as the oil is very precious, dilute it with other cheap oils – and what they claim is Argan oil is in effect less than 40% Argan.
​
Also, some producers obtain cheap Argan oil from shepherds who let goats & sheep feed on the Argan fruit and then collect the core after being digested and defecated by the animals. That is why you can find very cheap Argan oil in the market. Such oil has no benefits as the natural benefits as the digestive process of the animals would consume all the natural benefits of the Argan seeds

Packaging: Argan oil must come in dark-colored glass bottles. The glass, unlike plastic, will prevent any chemical interaction with the oil. The bottle should come in dark color, either the color of the glass itself or covered with a dark shield. The dark color help to minimize the penetration of light and to preserve the healing properties it contains.
