Argan Carrier Oil

Cold pressed from the kernels (nuts) of the argan tree, argan oil is well-known for its nourishing and lustrous effect when used either directly on the hair or in shampoos, conditioners or other hair care products. Equally as luxurious when used on the skin or nails, it is highly moisturizing and absorbs into the skin and scalp very quickly. Its anti-aging properties can be attributed to its high concentration of vitamin E and EFA’s (essential fatty acids). Massage directly into areas of the face or skin to diminish fine lines and wrinkles or to help restore mature skin’s natural elasticity. It is recommended to refrigerate after opening, and use over the course of two years for best results. Since argan is a tree nut, it should not be used by those with tree nut or other nut allergies.

Essential oils are often too strong to apply undiluted to the skin and evaporate rapidly. This is where a good carrier oil comes into play. They do not evaporate or have a very overpowering aroma and so blend well with essential oils making them less volatile. This combination is perfect for all forms of body massage.

On the recommendation of the International Federation of Aromatherapists, TruGardens does not endorse taking essential oils internally unless specifically directed and prescribed by a qualified healthcare practitioner who is also trained in clinical aromatherapy. Avoid using during pregnancy, or if you suspect you might be pregnant, except on the advice of a qualified practitioner. Store all essential oil products safely out of reach of children. Essential oils are potent, and a little bit goes a long way. Do not use essential oils undiluted directly on the skin as they can cause irritation. Keep away from children, and do not apply near the eyes, mucous membranes, sensitive or broken skin. Every individual reacts differently to essential oils: Always perform a ‘test patch’ properly diluted in carrier oil to determine sensitivity.
