It also contains very high levels of vitamin E. The various phenolic compounds in argan oil are likely responsible for most of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities. Some research also indicates that argan oil can also be applied directly to your skin to reduce inflammation caused by injuries or infections. An extremely useful oil and it tastes fabulous too. Locals make a delicious spread called Amlou with toasted nuts, argan oil, and honey as well as using it as a hair and skin moisturiser. The indigenous goat population knows all this instinctively and goes to great lengths to partake of the fruits of this tree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hiddenmoroccotours\/?__tn__=kC-R&amp;eid=ARC3KoWr_Xv_EgpqZNPeGGTBokcJmB5f3ohzYOHTHf7e044a0GGZvEXwG4Ogh19UDDbq4Cobikta_Pjg&amp;hc_ref=ARReFjVBg4b3p9Tv6BayqEh0azq7LNJxBwuVHDWJrwRGDlSVxrRA9ViyVXthRfJMRjw&amp;fref=nf&amp;__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAasD8mW3jxBrVRI_BWpkPPLMChEpYfB_1xZKH8ak-guqSclfq04IC8tDbw1K9u-m9WT530-KuVokW5Vj7x2BdrNP6dwJRKUUijyOKmQGxo-vLLsFbVJ5ILnCKspjsM7HWbACSvtNUcTeedxEIGnvTH-IlW1kLMadsXVP04tE1qZ3qLGFNxBDAf4Jzp5mOfe57YAFGWrL4SV0vlRLkTRVw7HxXas5qYpAds1Av5zNF_K5Y-AJiYVnz8rB7jCJ5t1KPlcC1mx3PVxs9KSSzr8TsERtUR1WGx5F134A3TkAfAN5E9eSu2d7LUkR4IGtuQRohnZfGdjd29xtXWEQ5JxiMWmTgsI816DOXQIaWLKfru6jzg7so_Fg2E\">Hidden Morroco Tours Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the Simple Truths Foundation gel products and soaps contain pure argan oil.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3024\" src=\"https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n-100x74.jpg 100w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n-150x111.jpg 150w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n-200x148.jpg 200w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n-450x333.jpg 450w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n-600x443.jpg 600w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n-320x236.jpg 320w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/53379772_1219835878180972_6048944949418786816_n.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/60532156_2318661515053238_8453165266879119360_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3026\" src=\"https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/60532156_2318661515053238_8453165266879119360_n-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/60532156_2318661515053238_8453165266879119360_n-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/60532156_2318661515053238_8453165266879119360_n-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/60532156_2318661515053238_8453165266879119360_n-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/60532156_2318661515053238_8453165266879119360_n-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/60532156_2318661515053238_8453165266879119360_n-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/60532156_2318661515053238_8453165266879119360_n-320x241.jpg 320w, https:\/\/simpletruths.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/60532156_2318661515053238_8453165266879119360_n.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Argania (Berber: \u2d30\u2d54\u2d33\u2d30\u2d4f Argan) a tree endemic to the semidesert Sous valley of southwestern Morocco.
