Origin
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil is derived from the argan fruit kernel that is found specifically in Morocco. It is a long and hard process because the argan tree grows very slowly. Also, the seeds from which the kernels are obtained are hard to crack. The argan oil is squeezed out of the kernels that contain about 50% of oil.
