Argan Oil for Cooking: Cosmetic vs. Cooking

There are two different types of Argan Oil: Cooking and Cosmetic.

Argan oil isn't just used for haircare and skincare, but it can be found in many culinary cuisines. From its' birthplace of Morocco and only found in the Argan trees, this extraordinary oil is rare, similar to truffle oil. The Argan tree produces fruit. All done by hand, they're harvested, shelled, and cracked to collect its' kernels. The famous oil then comes from the kernels after they're cold-pressed.

Cosmetic Argan oil comes from unroasted kernels and cooking Argan oil is always roasted. This is because of the very rich and nuttly flavor
