What Is Moroccan Argan Oil?
What Is Moroccan Argan Oil? (And Why Is It Called "Liquid Gold"?)
For over 600 years, Moroccan women have relied on Argan oil—a golden elixir pressed from the nuts of the rare Argania Spinosa tree—for radiant skin, lustrous hair, and natural healing. Today, dermatologists and beauty experts worldwide hail it as a must-have multitasker—and for good reason.
At Spinova, we partner directly with women’s cooperatives in Morocco to bring you 100% pure, cold-pressed, unrefined Argan oil—free from additives, fillers, or shortcuts.

Top 5 Scientifically Proven Benefits of Argan Oil
1. Deep Moisturization That Won’t Clog Pores
Unlike heavy creams, Argan oil absorbs quickly thanks to its linoleic acid content (perfect for acne-prone skin). Studies show it improves skin hydration by 40%+ (International Journal of Molecular Sciences).
2. Wrinkle Reduction & Firmer Skin
Rich in vitamin E and polyphenols, it stimulates collagen and reduces fine lines by up to 23% in 4 weeks (Clinical Cosmetic Investigational Dermatology).
3. Fades Scars + Sun Damage
Its regenerative properties help fade:
✔ Acne scars
✔ Stretch marks
✔ Sun spots
4. Hair Repair & Heat Protection
A 2015 study found Argan oil reduces hair breakage by 70% and protects against UV/heat damage.
5. Stronger Nails & Healthier Cuticles
Massage into nails daily to:
✔ Prevent splitting
✔ Soften cuticles
✔ Add natural shine
