Beautiful Skin Care from Nature
DISCOVERY.Shea Terra Organics is the authority on argan oil, having launched it in America in 2003. Tammie, the founder, searched high and low during visit after visit to Morocco to locate only the best argan oil in Morocco. The oil costs more, but the quality is incomparable. Most argan oil is produced from nuts gathered along the Moroccan ocean shore as it is a well-established trade route for argan oil. However, this region has a high salt content and thus produces inferior fruits. Shea Terra Organics Argan Oil are collected from trees in the well protected Atlas Mountains. Here the fruits grow large and healthy possessing a much higher vitamin E content than their coastal counterpart.
BEWARE.A large amount of argan oil is diluted with oils such as sunflower and some contain no argan oil at all! Argan oil is often diluted by producers or middle men somewhere between the sales of the oil and the bottling process. It's an expensive product due to the hours of labor required. If you pay a little for your argan oil, you're probably not purchasing pure argan oil.
DOING GOOD. Your purchase helps to preserve the endangered Argan Forest. The forest is under protection of the Moroccan government thanks to the support of UNESCO. We purchase only argan oil hand produced by the women in traditional method to ensure that the women maintain control over their argan oil.
GUARANTEE.We DO NOT refine or deodorize our argan oil. It's freshly cold pressed and air freighted to the United States. 100% pure argan oil has a natural aroma that can smell soured or nutty depending on time of the year it is pressed. Argan oil that has NO smell is often times NOT argan oil at all or has been highly heated, refined and deodorized. This denatures the oil and decreases its vitamin content. Argan oil that smells like toast is actually roasted for eating (delicious) and not for cosmetic use.
