Argan Oil

KUTEVA PROFESSIONAL MOROCCAN ARGAN OIL

Argan oil is made from the kernels that grow on the argan trees native to Morocco. It’s most frequently sold as pure oil, which can be directly applied topically (directly to the skin) or ingested in order to provide several health benefits. It comes in supplement capsule form to be taken by mouth. It’s also commonly mixed into a number of cosmetic products like shampoos, soaps, and conditioners. Argan oil has traditionally been used both topically and orally to improve the health of skin, hair, and nails. It contains a number of different beneficial properties and vitamins that form a powerful combination to boost skin health.

Argan oil is so rich in beneficial nutrients—such as vitamin E, fatty acids, squalene, and antioxidants—it can do wonders for your skin and hair. Here, experts explain what argan oil is, how to add it to your beauty routine, and what to look for in a legit bottle of the stuff.

Kuteva Hair System™ smoothing Argan Oil controlling formula was designed to prevent dryness, reduce split ends, restore silky and brilliantly luminous hair. Ideally used before blow drying, or applying any heat or steam, since the spray conditioner acts as a protective layer which guards the hair from environmental factors that might strip the keratin from the hair.

Unlike other oils, like coconut and olive oil, argan oil is easily absorbed into the hair strand, so it doesn’t leave a greasy residue unless you overdo it, explains Rivera. “Thanks to the fact that it is rich in fatty acids, it helps bring shine and luster back into the hair without weighing it down and causing buildup,” she says. “To use, apply a few drops to wet hair before styling. On dry hair, apply a small amount, focusing on the ends.”
