The Argan Oil: the Strength of the Nature
Morocco is a country rich in legends, mysteries and treasures. One of these is the ARGANIER, the Argania spinosa, that grows only in the southwest of Morocco, at the edge of the desert, in an inclusive area among Agadir and Essouira. This tree has recently received a recognition from the Unesco that has defined it tree of the life both for the important defense of the ecosystem and for its social and economic role. The oil that is drawn by the almonds of the berries of the Arganier, is very precious for its rarity, for the manual production process, for the low productivity but above all for the important Cosmetic Properties, so much to have been called the Gold of the Desert. |
