ARGAN OIL.
Who's with me? I've heard really great things about it. It's made in Morrocco and the women there use it on their skin, hair and nails. It's said to impart "moisture" (meaning it can penetrate the hair shaft like avocado and coconut oils can) and add loads of nutrients and shine to hair. That's always a great sounding combination to me especially if my hair is involved in the equation. Inkanat.com says
Argan oil (known as the Green Gold of Marocco) contains high levels of essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid (omega-6). These fatty acids protect and repair the skin. This action is reinforced by very high levels of vitamin E (tocopherols) which has moisturising and healing properties and is one of the most powerful biological anti-oxidants in neutralizing free radicals. It also protects cell membranes from lipid oxidation, thereby slowing the skin`s ageing process.
Argan oil is extracted from the nut of the argan tree. This tree is unique in the world for its characteristics: nutritive, cosmetic and many medicinal properties. The argan tree grows only in the South-Western part of Morocco. Argan Oil remains one of the rarest oils in the world. A very labour intensive process, performed primarily by Moroccan women, is required to shell and crush the fruits prior to pressing the oil.

I was thinking about how it would fare on my face b/c I have oily skin and fight the oil with oil (sounds a lil off but it really works) but after researching it some more,I think I will refrain from doing that and would just use it for my hair and skin other than my face.
Now b/c this oil is so rare it's quite pricey. Inkanat.com is selling 3.4 oz for $20. Wowsers, that's my whole hair stuff amount allocated for next month. LOL. It might be a while till I will indulge and get this but I sure am interested. One day soon, it WILL be mine. Any of you use it or have used it in the past? Do share.
