Organic Argan Oil
This information is provided for information only, and is taken from the book “Cosmétiques: faites-les vous-même” published by Éditions Bleu Majorelle.
The argan tree (Argania spinosa) is the tree blessed by the Gods by the Berbers of south-west Morocco. In the golden triangle between Essaouira, Agadir and the foothills of the Anti-Atlas […]. It is the fruit that makes up the argan tree’s richness. They are large, yellow nuts with a fleshy pulp and a very hard central core containing up to 3 pumpkin-seed-shaped oleaginous kernels […]. Argan oil is extracted using traditional methods. Thanks to an all-female workforce, perpetuating age-old techniques and organized into cooperatives.
- Picking: When the argan fruits are ripe, they fall to the ground. Goats love them (hence the nickname “goat tree”) […].
- Drying: Harvested fruit is left to dry in the sun for two to three weeks, stirring frequently. The dried fruit is then stored.
- Depulping: The women then manually depulp the nuts, separating the kernel.
- Crushing: The pits are then crushed, again by hand, to harvest the kernels they contain.
- Extraction: Argan oil is obtained by hand, cold, using a simple mechanical process, with the kernels crushed between stone millstones. To give you an idea of oil production, you need 70 kg of fruit to obtain 20 kg of nuts, giving 2 kg of kernels and, after extraction, 1 liter of oil.
- Decanting: The oil is decanted to clarify it.
- Filtration: The final stage involves filtering the oil through cloth plates to ensure its purity.
- Storage: Organic argan oil should be stored away from light and heat […].
Argan oil can be consumed as a food, just like other oils such as olive oil, so the kernels are roasted, which is not the case for its cosmetic use, for which no roasting is carried out.
