El argan is well known today for its great properties for the skin. This oil extracted from a dried fruit is ideal for caring for all skin types, which is why it is known as desert gold. The tree from which the fruit is born is only found in places like Morocco and therefore its commercialization is not easy. In addition, it is made by hand, which raises costs compared to other oils that are easier to obtain.
El argan soap is a cosmetic product which is derived from the ingredients used for a common soap mixed with that great argan oil that has so many benefits for the skin. Nowadays, handmade soaps, made with natural products and with good effects on the skin, have become fashionable again.
Argan
Argan oil is extracted from dried fruit of the Argania Spinosa tree. When it dries, the seed must be removed from the almond manually, hence it takes more work than other oils. This seed is cold pressed to preserve its properties. In this way, an oil with an intense yellow hue and little odor is obtained. If the oil we buy does not have these properties, it may be that it is not authentic argan oil or that it is mixed with other much cheaper oils, such as almond.
Argan soap
Argan soap has this wonderful oil among its ingredients. Its composition usually uses distilled water, caustic soda, olive oil and precious argan oil. With a base to make normal soaps we add argan oil to the mixture to give it its properties. We must make sure that this oil is of quality, since argan oil has a certain cost and we must be suspicious if it is too cheap. A good oil ensures that the properties of the soap will have their effect on a daily basis when using it.
Smoother skin
Undoubtedly one of the most sought after effects when using products that contain argan is to soften the skin and feel much more hydrated. The added argan oil has essential fatty acids, necessary for a hydrated and nourished skin. The good thing about this soap with argan is that it hydrates the skin but it is also suitable for acneic skin, as it helps to keep them clean by treating that type of skin gently. Along with other cosmetics, it is recommended for all skin types, and especially for dry skin and pregnant women, as it prevents the skin from drying out and stretch marks from appearing.
Anti-wrinkle effect
Argan oil is widely used for fight facial wrinkles. If we are already using it, we can add the argan soap to the mix. Washing the face and skin with this soap ensures that it will stay young and hydrated for longer. This way we will avoid soaps with chemicals that dry out our skin, increasing the appearance of wrinkles.
Hair soap
Natural soaps are also used for hair. This soap helps nourish hair and the scalp. However, these types of soaps should always be tried once to see the effect, as not everyone benefits from the finish it gives to hair. If our hair is oily and the roots can also make the appearance much more matted in a short time. In this case, it can be used only on the ends, to nourish them, avoiding the scalp area.
