Winning argan
Argan oil is an exclusive Moroccan specialty. The argan tree which produces the fruit to press grows exclusively on our soil, in the south west near Agadir, Essaouira and Taroudant. The oil is used in cooking, particularly couscous. But it is above all for its cosmetic uses that argan has built itself a worldwide reputation.
Made by women
The oil has qualities which Berber women, who still manage its production in about 20 cooperatives, have always known about. Visit the cooperatives: the production stages will be explained to you.
Beauty for its own sake
The beauty rituals of Moroccan women are easily accessible to you, in the hammams for example. You can take home the whole range of products which have always been used. Natural sponges, black soap, pumice or alum stones, etc. Without forgetting ghassoul, another Moroccan exclusive, cleaning clay perfumed with rose water or jasmine. An Ali Baba's cave of products to promote your well-being awaits you.
