Argan oil: a beauty ritual thousands of years old

Discover the secrets of Morocco's liquid gold, hand-extracted by the Berber women's cooperatives of the Souss region.

Argan oil: a beauty ritual thousands of years old

Nicknamed Morocco's liquid gold, argan oil is far more than just a cosmetic. It is a heritage passed down from mother to daughter for generations in southwestern Morocco.

A 100% artisanal extraction

Berber women crack the argan nuts by hand, one by one, between two stones. It takes nearly 30 kg of fruit to obtain a single litre of oil. This patient labour is what gives every bottle its value.

How to use it every day

  • Face: 2 drops as a night serum, on clean skin.
  • Hair: as a pre-shampoo oil bath, or on dry ends.
  • Body: after showering to deeply nourish the skin.

Why choose SoccoTerroir

All our oils are certified organic and fair-trade. We work directly with the cooperatives, ensuring fair pay for the women who produce them.
