Win Argan Oil Products!

by

I recently wrote about the inspirational women of the Tighanimine Fairtrade Argan Oil Women’s Cooperative  who produce cosmetic and culinary Argan Oil using traditional Berber methods.

The Benefits of Argan Oil

The benefits of Argan Oil go more than just skin deep – production is creating a positive impact and empowering the women in this small region of South West Morocco.  Sales improve the economic conditions of the local population with a special emphasis on women and girls.

How to use Argan Oil

The 100% organic oil can be used directly on the skin to moisturise, help with dry skin conditions and fade scars. Rub into cuticles to strengthen nails and the ends of towel-dried hair to strengthen and stop frizzing.  I add a few drops into my conditioner to help keep my hair in good condition without looking greasy.

Whilst visiting the Cooperative I couldn’t leave without buying some of the Argan Oil products and thought it would be nice to share.  There’s a 50 ml bottle of pure Argan Oil and an Argan soap made by the Tighanimine Women’s Cooperative up for grabs.  Here’s what to do:

Hopefully between us we’ll raise awareness of the Tighanimine Cooperative and help the women market their product.

And just for fun here’s me trying to crack those tough little Argan nuts!

      I think the product can almost be traced to the tree the fruits were picked from!

    I’d love to try this, as I have only ever heard about it vaguely before. Sounds nice! Ps. I’m in the UK.

    I haven’t heard of this before. I have not seen it in Australia or Italy. I will be on the lookout for it now.

    Not on Twitter … so I have to give up my chance to win – but I have looked into the oil … I can get it over here. They call it the fluid gold. But I can’t find fair trade products. Fantastic gift. *smile Good luck everybody.

        Thank you very much … It’s a magnificent gift, because looking online those oils don’t come cheap. And also because of your connection with the ladies.
