Argan oil here, argan oil there. Taking the personal care industry by storm! It seems like numerous products out there are infused with it but how many facts about Argan oil do you really know?

We’ve put together a list of nine surprising facts about this miraculous oil we bet you didn’t know!
- Argan oil is NOT oily! In fact, it is extremely effective in combating oily skin and scalp, as it contains linoleic acid. A type of omega-6 fatty acid that controls sebum levels that are responsible for breakouts, oily skin and hair.
- Not all Argan oils are made equally! Why? Due to the rarity and limited supply of Argan oil itself. Another reason is the different extraction methods: handmade vs. machine, new vs. old nuts, cold-pressed vs. not, diluted vs. pure, and certified organic vs. conventional and the list goes on. These details are what differentiates the fake and bad from the good and premium Argan oil. Read more on what to look for and avoid.
- It can be used as a massage oil. Pure argan oil can be used during massage to help relieve arthritis and rheumatic pain. The anti-inflammatory properties of Argan oil help in relieving aches.

- “Argan oil” and “Moroccan oil” are 2 completely different things. How so? That’s an intriguing fact about Argan oil a lot of people ask about. Pure Argan oil is a powerful moisturising and healing dry oil for hair, face, body, and nails. “Moroccan oil” is the name of a brand with products infused with Argan oil and other chemicals. When searching for the best oil for your hair and skin, look for the liquid gold and nothing else. Make sure to read the label’s ingredient list!
- It has medical benefits, too. Pure Argan oil has helped many people suffering from conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Due to its high content of anti-inflammatory properties and vitamin E, it can also help heal rashes and dry flaky skin.
- It is an extremely rare oil. Another very surprising fact about Argan oil! It takes approximately 30 kg. (66 lb.) of Argan fruit and about 24 hours to produce just 1 litre (1 qt.) of Ayelli Pure & Organic Argan Oil. The oil is extracted from the precious Argan tree (Argania Spinoza), which is only found in a small region of southwest Morocco, making it one of the rarest oils in the world. The Argan forest is a UNESCO World heritage.
- Goats love Argan! That’s usually the most surprising fact about Argan oil for most people. Goats climbing on Argan trees make the cutest pictures for tourists. It is fascinating to see them standing gracefully on the tiny branches, but the reality is that they are very damaging to the tree and add to its speedy extinction. In addition, the Argan oil extracted from the nuts goats’ excrements (they love to eat the fruit) is of a very bad quality. This type of widely common Argan oil needs to be deodorised which destroys its natural moisturizing and healing properties. In order to protect the quality of the oil, the Argan nuts need to be harvested with the pulp/skin still on. The oil should not be deodorised or bleached. Our Argan farm is goats free!
- It’s a complete treatment. Due to its wide usage methods and benefits including moisturising, anti-aging and repairing, Argan oil can replace a very wide range of beauty products from cleanser to leave in conditioner.
