Here at Aganic, we believe in the power of organic cosmetics.
Into each and every bottle, we pour our incredible selection of pure, natural ingredients. We add a dash of passion. A sprinkle of luxury. And, of course, a few drops of the miraculous ingredient which started it all. Argan oil. It all began as the brainch ild of Ahmed, our founder. Growing up in Morocco, argan oil is a way of life.
The fruits are plucked from the verdant, lifegiving argan trees that thrive on the edge of the desert. For centuries, the local women had pressed the little gems of argan fruit, extracting the nourishing oil. The Berber women of the area used the oil for its remarkable properties, protecting the skin and hair in the hot and arid climate of the Moroccan south.
Word spread. And slowly, the Berber women became renowned for their luxurious black hair and perfect copper skin. Little wonder the locals called the rich amber oil, ‘liquid gold.’ Ahmed heard these tales as a boy. He saw the women of his native land, and the memories lodged themselves deep in his mind. Years later, the boy who learned of argan oil had become a successful accountant.
However, the possibilities of argan oil never left his head. Increasingly the world was waking up to the incredible health benefits of this miraculous substance. In 1999, UNESCO protected the tre e as a keystone of the area; such is its importance. But Ahmed knew they had only scratched the surface. Argan oil could tame the wildest hair.
Styling it and protecting it from heat. Applied daily and the hair would gain a lustrous shine that would last f or months. But it could also be used for skin. Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, argan oil moisturises deep between the pores. For men, it could soothe the razor’s damage after shaving. For women, it gave a glowing complexion. For those not ble ssed with unblemished skin, it could soothe acne inflammation.
The high content of linoleum acid nourished and calmed spots and scars alike. It reduced stretch marks. It healed dry and cracked heels. Massaged into skin, it could work wonders. But such bene fits did not come easy to the women of Morocco.
The fruits of the argan tree are a hard nut. Traditionally, each must be cracked between two rocks. Nor are argan trees abundant. As with all blessings, they are rare. Nevertheless, Ahmed dreamt of the possi bilities. He dreamt of sharing the nourishing benefits of argan oil with the world. And so, he used his mind of calculations and numbers and set to work starting a new business, with argan oil at its core. He named it Arganic: both for the oil, and for his and organic ingredients.organic philosophy, vowing to use only the most natural Today Arganic has fulfilled that vision.
