MOROCCAN OIL

Moroccan Oil has been creating a massive buzz in recent years with thousands of people swearing by the product for their own hair care management. It has developed a cult following within the industry, both for stylists and clients alike. But what is Moroccan Oil and how does it work?.

History

Moroccan oil is another name for argan oil and is made from the kernels of the argan tree fruit that grows almost exclusively in Morocco. This oil is one of the rarest in the world due to the small supply and the limited growing area. Hence the high price and the hype. Traditionally, the oil is produced by hand. First the soft pulp is stripped from the nuts, which are then laid out in the sun to dry. Stones are used to crack open the dried nuts so the seeds can be removed. Next, they’re gently roasted to give the oil a rich, nutty flavor. A little water is added to the roasted seeds and they are ground into a thick paste which is squeezed by hand to extract the oil

Moroccanoil co-founder Carmen Tal was miles from home when, after a routine color service gone awry, she experienced the powerful Moroccanoil Treatment while traveling. As she witnessed the transformation of her hair instantly revitalized. Going from damaged to shiny, smooth and manageable. She went on a quest to share the magic of this argan oil hair treatment with women across the globe.

What began a decade ago as a single, revolutionary product that pioneered a new category in the beauty industry, has grown into a full line of hair and body products, all infused with nourishing antioxidant-rich argan oil, signature to the brand. Dedicated to providing the highest quality hair and body products, Moroccanoil has grown into an iconic beauty brand. “We are thrilled to be celebrating ten years of oil-infused innovation and today our goal remains unchanged—to empower beautiful transformations and create products that inspire confidence,” says co-founder Carmen
