  • Where is argan oil produced?
  • Currently, Argan oil is mainly produced by women’s cooperatives in Morocco using a semi-industrial mechanical extraction process. This allows the production of high-quality argan oil.

  • What are the different types of argan oil?
  • Depending on the method used to prepare argan kernels, two types of argan oil can be obtained: food or cosmetic grade. Cosmetic argan oil is prepared from unroasted kernels, whereas food argan oil is achieved by cold pressing kernels roasted for a few minutes.
  • How long does argan oil last?
  • For instance, at 110°C, food argan oil prepared by press cold extraction present an average Rancimat induction period of 31 h, whereas it is only 13 h for cosmetic argan oil. At high storage temperature (60°C) for 35 days, argan oil from roasted kernels prepared by press cold extraction shows high oxidative stability ( 19 ).
