FAQ

Where does Argan Oil come from?

Argan oil is extracted from the fruits that grow on Argania Spinosa drought resistant trees found in the southern region of Morocco. Inside the fruit, beneath the bitter peel is an almond shaped kernel which contains 3 small seeds that are the source of the liquid gold. These seeds are then pressed for the oil which produces an all-natural product that is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamin E.

All products offered by A Door to Morocco are 100% authentic natural argan oil that is unroasted and comes fresh-pressed directly from a fair-trade women-run cooperative.

How to store Argan oil?

To store and reserve the life of our products we recommended keeping the bottle away from direct sunlight and making sure the lid is on tight. Our Argan oil is sealed away in dark coloured bottles to protect against light that could potentially break down the oil's best properties.

Can Argan oil be used with other moisturizers?

Oils act as a barrier to keep moisture from evaporating out of your skin. They are best applied on slightly damp skin to trap the water in your pores. Use on its own or apply over your moisturizer to lock in all their hydrating ingredients.

Does Argan oil help stretch marks?

The lovely benefits of Argan oil include a boost of vitamin E and omega fatty acids which help to improve elasticity when it comes to stretch marks. Daily use of Argan oil will assist in maintaining healthy, moisturized skin but will also work to prevent any further breakage.
