Argan Oil – How to Make Soap
Argan oil is extracted from the kernels of the Argania Spinosa tree, found in the southwest territory of Morocco. This thorny tree has a green fleshy type of fruit, similar to an olive, but larger and rounder in shape and size. Inside this fruit is an extremely hard shell containing one to three almond-shaped kernels. After goats eat the fruit, the nut remains and is collected by farmers to produce argan oil.
Production of argan oil is a lengthy process, since each nut has to be cracked open to remove the kernels. It can take twelve to twenty hours of work to produce one liter of oil, therefore it can be relatively expensive. This natural oil is golden in color, with a hint of reddish tinge.
