What is Argan oil?

Argan oil comes from the nut of the very rare Argan tree (Argania Spinosa), which grows almost exclusively in a small southwestern region of Morocco. For centuries, the local tribe of Berbers have benefited from the "miraculous" effects of Argan oil for the care of their skin, hair and nails. It has even been proven effective in treating acne, psoriasis, eczema, and cold sores, as well as for deep scarring and burns.

The Jebel Corporation is proud to be one of the leading pioneers in presenting this all natural miracle oil in its purest form. Jebel 100% pure Argan oil is a complete beauty product. Once thought of as just a folk remedy, it is now touted as one of the latest miracle ingredients by the beauty industry. It is clinically proven to be effective as a moisturizer, toner and firming solvent. The lightweight oil is gentle enough for all skin types. It can be effective as an everyday moisturizer to help alleviate dry, chapped skin or as a balancing treatment for acne prone skin.

Jebel's 100% pure Argan oil is super rich in anti-aging antioxidants and vitamin E. These components lead to the re-launching of the skin's vital functions, making it refined and radiant and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles. These properties can also turn back the clock for mature skin, or skin affected by sun, stress, or harsh environments. It is also amazingly high in nutrient-rich fatty acids, including Omega-6 and Omega-9. These fatty acids are essential in creating prostaglandin, a natural anti-inflammatory, which reduces pain, swelling and inflammation. So while the oil stimulates your blood's circulation, it also leaves you with a rosy, healthy complexion. Our oil can also be applied to dry, brittle nails or used as a hair conditioning mask, nourishing and restoring your hair's natural softness and shine. Our product is non-comedogenic, fragrance, paraben and dye-free.
