f we often hear that argan oil is "miraculous" it is because it has always been used in the Moroccan pharmacopoeia to cure many ills: it relieves rhumatism, heals slight burns, acne, chicken-pox, chapping and presents an undeniable dietetical interest because of its oleic-linoleic characteristic. Veronique Prévost knows the secrets of nature and plants very well. For her the virtues of argan oil are obviously not due to a miracle !

"Empirically known for thousands of years, the benefits of argan oil are today scientifically proved. They reside in a composition of unsaturated fatty acids (essentially linoleic acid) with the functions of defence and repair of the epithelium, but also very rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) moisturizers and very strong antioxydants. In the insaponifiable fraction of argan oil, research has shown the presence of phytosterols (active, healing and protecting) carotenes and antioxidant polyphenols in addition to tocopherols. Argan oil also contains squalene, a very hydrating* substance that normalizes skin pealing whence the interest of using it as hair care. In addition argan oil has a remarkable facility of penetration and does not provokes comedons ".
