Az argan szó, ami többek között a faj magyar és tudományos nevének is alapjául szolgál, annak a berber népcsoportnak (a silháknak) a nyelvéből származik, amely a fa fő termőterületén él. Mivel a silhák életében az argánfa kiemelkedő jelentőséggel bír, a silha nyelvben számos kifejezés létezik a növény különböző részeinek és különféle érettségi állapotainak megnevezésére, a szüretelés és a feldolgozás egyes munkafázisaira. Középkori arab orvosi források harjānként említik a fát, amely kifejezés ugyanezen tőből ered. If you’re ready to reap the benefits of argan oil for your hair, there are a few ways to do it. Argan oil hair mask In spite of their importance in local economies, nutritional information about argan foliage and argan by-products is almost non-existent. At the time of writing (February 2015), these products have not been tested in in vivotrials. Leaves and fruits

A 2013 study also found that argan oil reduced damage caused by hair dye when applied to Caucasian hair after color processing. Sun protection Moroccan women have long used argan oil to protect their skin from sun damage, a practice was supported by a 2013 study.

Publisher's Note

The variability of the extra-virgin argan oil acid value as a function of various parameters has been studied ( 41, 60). In addition, seed origin and the technology associated with extraction are parameters possibly modifying the argan oil acidity ( 41, 60, 63). The oxidative state of oil can be examined from peroxide value and specific extinction coefficient (E232), which indicates the presence of primary oxidation products ( 20, 64). The peroxide value of extra-virgin argan oil must be lower than 15 mEq O 2/kg ( 65) and specific extinction E232 is not yet been set in The Moroccan standard ( 28). Nevertheless, Kharbach et al. ( 66) have considered that the specific extinction E232 should not exceed 2.52 for extra virgin argan oil. The other two important indices used to evaluate the secondary oxidation products are p-anisidine value and specific extinction E270 ( 20, 64). The Moroccan Standard has fixed 0.25 as a limit value for extra virgin argan oil. In addition to the oxidation and acidity concerns, the quantification of major compounds, such as fatty acids, and minor compounds, such as sterols, polyphenols, tocopherols, and minerals elements, are also important considerations for the purity of argan oil. Monfalouti, HE; Guillaume, D; Denhez, C; Charrouf, Z (Dec 2010). "Therapeutic potential of argan oil: Argan oil is usually used topically in its pure form — but also frequently included in cosmetic products like lotions and skin creams.

Argan oil also contains traces of tocopherols (vitamin E), phenols, carotenes, squalene. [5] Some trace phenols in argan oil include caffeic acid, oleuropein, vanillic acid, tyrosol, catechol, resorcinol, (−)- epicatechin and (+)- catechin. [6]Bendaou, M. , 2013.

WO2013105841 A1 Employment in the co-operatives provides women with an income, which many have used to fund education for themselves or their children. It has also provided them with a degree of autonomy in a traditionally male-dominated society and has helped many become more aware of their rights.

You can get these benefits by applying argan oil directly to the skin, taking oral supplement regularly, or both. 9. Reduces skin’s oiliness Kouidri, et al. (2015).

The rate of overgrazing was estimated to be as high as 88%, which also stunts development of the argan trees. After several years of drought in the argan tree forest, sheep rearing has been developed at the expense of goats because sheep eat less argan forage (reported to be only 17% of their diet) and are consequently less detrimental to the forest ( Zugmeyer, 2006).

If it’s your first time using it, start with a small amount to see how your hair responds. If you have naturally oily roots, apply argan only to the ends of your hair to avoid greasy-looking hair. For Cooking Stretch marks are particularly common during pregnancy, but anyone can experience them. One 2016 study found that a water-in-oil cream containing argan oil improved skin elasticity. This helped prevent and treat stretch marks early on. Gharby S, Charrouf Z. Argan Oil: Chemical Composition, Extraction Process, and Quality Control.

The argan tree is typically a multipurpose tree that supports income generation, increases resilience and improves climate adaptation, playing a very important role in achieving the three dimensions of sustainable development - economic, social and environmental - at the local level.
