Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is Argan Oil and why is it called "liquid gold"?
Argan oil is a natural oil derived from the nuts of the Argania spinosa tree, native to Morocco. It is often referred to as "liquid gold" due to its rich nutrient content and exceptional benefits for skin, hair, and overall wellness. Packed with essential fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants, it deeply nourishes and hydrates, helping to improve skin elasticity, promote hair health, and fight signs of aging.

3. How do I use Argan Oil for skincare?
Argan oil is versatile and can be used in several ways to enhance your skincare routine:
Face: Apply a few drops to your fingertips and massage gently onto cleansed skin, especially focusing on dry or problematic areas. It helps to hydrate, reduce fine lines, and improve overall skin tone.
Body: Use it as a moisturizing body oil after showering to keep your skin soft and smooth.
Hands & Nails: Apply to your hands and cuticles to nourish and promote healthier nails.
4. Can I use Zahrat al-Aswad Argan Oil for my hair?
Yes! Argan oil is a fantastic natural treatment for hair. It helps to hydrate, smooth frizz, and restore shine:
As a Leave-In Conditioner: Apply a few drops to damp hair, focusing on the ends to restore moisture and shine.
Deep Treatment: For a more intense treatment, apply to dry hair, cover with a shower cap, and leave it on for 30 minutes before washing it out with shampoo.
Scalp Care: Massage a few drops into your scalp to promote circulation and reduce dryness.
5. Is your Argan Oil suitable for all skin types?
Yes, our Argan oil is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin. It’s non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) and helps balance your skin’s natural oils. If you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies, we recommend doing a patch test before full application.
6. What is cold-pressed Argan oil?
Cold-pressed Argan oil is extracted from the nuts of the Argan tree without using heat, preserving the oil’s natural nutrients, antioxidants, and fatty acids. This method ensures that the oil remains pure, retaining its full effectiveness for skincare and haircare.
7. How should I store my Argan Oil?
Store your Zahrat al-Aswad Argan oil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. We recommend keeping it in a dark glass bottle (which we use for packaging) to maintain its potency. This helps prevent oxidation and ensures the oil retains its natural properties for as long as possible.
8. Can I use Argan oil if I have oily skin?
Yes! Argan oil can actually help balance oily skin. Its high levels of Omega-6 fatty acids help regulate sebum production and reduce excessive oiliness. Many people with oily or acne-prone skin find that Argan oil helps soothe inflammation, reduce acne scars, and moisturize without clogging pores.
