FunctionEmollient

What it is — Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (INCI of the same name) is the INCI-named form of argan oil, an emollient and antioxidant-carrying plant oil.

What it does — It is commonly used to soften and smooth the skin and hair and to act as a nourishing carrier that helps disperse other oil-soluble ingredients.

Typical use — It appears in facial oils, serums, balms, creams and hair products.

Who it suits / good to know — Suits normal to dry skin and hair looking for a conditioned finish; those who prefer very light textures may use it sparingly.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a well-tolerated plant emollient oil. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
