Argan Oil

What is Argan Oil?

Argan oil is a luxurious oil derived from the nuts of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), native to Morocco. This oil is celebrated for its high content of essential fatty acids and vitamin E, making it a powerhouse for hydrating, nourishing, and protecting the skin. It's often used in various skincare products for its ability to improve skin texture and combat signs of aging.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Some individuals may experience an intolerance to argan oil due to nut allergies or sensitivity to its components. Symptoms can include redness, irritation, or an allergic reaction, particularly in those with existing sensitivities to nuts.

What can I do about it?

To manage intolerance to argan oil, it’s best to discontinue using products that contain it. Look for substitutes like squalane or marula oil, which offer similar hydrating properties without the risk of irritation. Prioritizing hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic skincare formulations can also help ensure a gentle approach for sensitive skin.
