Cosmetic Argan Oil: Origin, Benefits & How to Use It

What Is Cosmetic Argan Oil?

Known as “liquid gold”, cosmetic argan oil is a natural oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree, which grows almost exclusively in Morocco. Traditionally hand-pressed by Berber women, this oil has been used for centuries as a natural beauty remedy for skin, hair, and nails.

Unlike culinary argan oil (which is roasted and used for cooking), cosmetic argan oil is cold-pressed and unroasted to preserve its high levels of Vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids.

The Origin: From Morocco to Galway

At Tichka, we source our cosmetic argan oil directly from women’s cooperatives in Morocco. Each batch is hand-harvested and cold-pressed using traditional stone mills, ensuring you get oil that is 100% pure, authentic, and chemical-free.

We’ve brought this heritage to Ireland — so if you’re looking for authentic cosmetic argan oil in Galway, you can trust that every drop comes straight from Morocco’s argan forests to your skincare routine.

Key Benefits of Cosmetic Argan Oil

✨ Deep, Lasting Moisture
Packed with omega 6 and 9 fatty acids, Argan Oil penetrates deep into the skin and hair shaft, restoring hydration without feeling greasy.

✨ Smooths Fine Lines & Enhances Glow
Rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, it helps combat free radicals, support collagen production, and boost overall radiance.

✨ Soothes Irritated or Reactive Skin
Naturally anti-inflammatory, it calms redness, softens rough patches, and supports skin healing — ideal for eczema-prone or sensitive skin.

✨ Nourishes Hair & Scalp
A few drops tame frizz, restore shine, and condition dry ends, while also soothing dry or flaky scalps.

✨ A True Multi-Tasker
Use it as a facial oil, body moisturiser, hair serum, cuticle treatment, or even a glow-booster under makeup — one product, many rituals.
