Argan Oil...?

Argan oil is a plant oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa L.), endemic to Morocco, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties. It is also known in cosmetic use as moroccan oil. - wikipedia

Argan oil has been named 'Liquid Gold of Morocco' for centuries for its excellent benefits in anti-aging, antioxidant, skin healing and skin conditioning. It is produced by the Berber women tribe in Morocco, under the Women Cooperative Enterprise whereby profit generated from argan oil production helps their socioeconomic growth and empowerment. Organic argan oil are harvest, process and package using sustainable material without any use of harmful chemical, giving its utmost superior quality and environmentally-friendly.

Argan Tree, easily found in Morocco

Was actually googling for some organic affordable skincare range to complement my Beutskin Essence beauty-regime ( beauty la sgt kan :p )... and stumbled upon this information (of Argan Oil). Most of the products are from other parts of the world, until I found one local brand which produced mainly Argan Oil based skincare! The company / brand name is Secretleaf and it has been in the market for about 2 years already.

 Purchased the Argan Discovery Set from their website , which consist of
  • One Pure Oil Series 01 Argan Oil (15ml),
  • One Argan Night Cream (5 gm),
  • One Argan Day Cream (5gm), and
  • One Argan Moisturising Soap (40gm)


Argan Discovery Set

Been using it for almost a week now (except for the soap, since I've decided to finish my current cleanser first) and Alhamdulillah, puas hati. I was down with flu (due to sinusitis) when I started to use it (the effect of SNE capsules, i believed. and that is another story which entitle for another special entry later ;) ).

Sneezing non-stop and kulit was super dry, gatal and pedih due to 'over-flowing liquid' from the nose and frequent contact with tissue paper :p . But, the moment I applied the Argan Oil onto my face, it immediately gave me sort of calming effect..sneezing stopped, no itching and kulit pon rasa lega and lembab.

Even though it's an oil-based products, it does not give me the oily feeling at all. Rasa kulit lembab and lembut sepanjang hari. eceewah. :p

Will continue to use this products (plus Beutskin Essence) and monitor & update the progress time to time, InsyaAllah :)

Oh btw, Secretleaf will introduce their new Argan-oil cleanser in liquid/cream form by end of March. Can't wait! :D
