The power of plants
The argan tree grows exclusively in the southwestern region of Morocco. Standing at 5-10 meters in height, it is incredibly resistant and able to thrive in conditions of extreme heat, drought and poor, arid soils. Argan oil, extracted from the seeds of the argan tree, has been produced in an artisanal manner in southern Morocco since ancient times. It is used in lamps to produce light, and by Berber women for its nutritional and cosmetic benefits.
Skincare benefits of Organic argan oil
In cosmetics, organic argan oil—rich in the fatty acids omega 6 and 9—is used to soften, nourish and protect the skin.
Responsible sourcing
Protecting the soil and biodiversity is a longstanding commitment at Clarins. That’s why we have always given priority to plant-based key ingredients sourced from organic agriculture, grown using sustainable farming methods that respect nature and the health of the soil.
