Why Choose Organic? The Environmental and Ethical Benefits of Arganit’s Sourcing Practices
In a world where sustainability and ethical practices are becoming increasingly important, choosing organic products is more than just a trend—it’s a commitment to the planet and its people. At Arganit, we take pride in our dedication to sustainability, ethical sourcing, and the preservation of traditional practices. Here’s why choosing organic, particularly through Arganit, is a decision that benefits not only your skin and hair but also the environment and communities.
The Traditional Harvesting Process of Argan Oil in Morocco
Argan oil, often referred to as “liquid gold,” is derived from the kernels of the argan tree, which grows exclusively in the arid regions of Morocco. The process of extracting this precious oil is labor-intensive and deeply rooted in tradition.
- Hand-Harvesting: Local Berber women carefully collect argan fruits by hand, ensuring that only the ripest fruits are selected.
- Cold-Pressing: The kernels are extracted, roasted, and cold-pressed to produce pure, nutrient-rich argan oil. This method preserves the oil’s natural properties, including its high levels of vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids.
By adhering to these traditional methods, Arganit ensures that every drop of argan oil is of the highest quality, while also honoring the cultural heritage of Morocco.
Supporting Local Cooperatives and Women’s Empowerment
At the heart of Arganit’s mission is a commitment to empowering the communities that make our products possible.
- Fair Trade Practices: We partner with local cooperatives in Morocco, ensuring that the women who harvest and process argan oil are paid fairly for their work.
- Economic Independence: These cooperatives provide women with stable incomes, education, and opportunities for personal growth, helping them achieve financial independence and improve their quality of life.
- Preserving Tradition: By supporting these cooperatives, we help preserve the centuries-old traditions of argan oil production, ensuring that this knowledge is passed down to future generations.
When you choose Arganit, you’re not just investing in high-quality beauty products—you’re contributing to the empowerment of women and the preservation of cultural heritage.
The Environmental Benefits of Organic and Cold-Pressed Argan Oil
Organic farming and sustainable practices are at the core of Arganit’s values. Here’s how our sourcing practices benefit the environment:
- No Harmful Chemicals: Organic argan oil is produced without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, protecting the soil, water, and surrounding ecosystems.
- Biodiversity Preservation: The argan tree plays a crucial role in preventing desertification in Morocco. By supporting organic farming, we help maintain the delicate balance of the region’s biodiversity.

Choosing organic argan oil means supporting a product that is as kind to the planet as it is to your skin.
