Argan Oil is becoming the new “it” ingredient so quickly that Californian wildfires pale in comparison with their speed. Known as “liquid gold” in Morocco, this oil works as hard as Michael Phelps to keep your skin moisturizer and wrinkle free with its essential fatty acids and antioxidants.
One of the lines that features Argan Oil prominently is Kahina Giving Beauty.
Kahina uses argan oil found in Morocco. Apparently Moroccan women have used this beauty secret for centuries. It’s full of Vitamin E and antioxidants and it has been shown to minimize lines, improve skin tone and lessen inflammation.
Whew! Mighty Oil!
The Cleanser is my personal favorite. It’s suitable for the most sensitive of skins and it’s infused with willow bark extract, organic honey and papaya extract.
The Serum is great for inflammed and sensitive skin. It’s a little too rich for my combination skin, so a tiny pea-size amount is perfect.
The Argan Oil itself should be applied to areas where you need “wrinkle” zapping. But it’s not just a face oil — this is a multitasking wonder like Harry Potter when he juggles Hogwarts and his nemeses.
You can use it as a moisturizer; a body oil (recommended); bath oil (PERFECT for dry skin….eczema sufferers take note and get out your wallets); hair oil for anti-frizz (it does work!); hand treatment and for acne as well.
The company is called “Giving Beauty” because it sources its argan oil directly from the co-ops in the southwest region of Morocco, where the Berber women (Kahina was a Berber queen) still work and live. The company gives back to the community from which the oil is harvested. Law dictates that only Berber women can extract argan oil in Morocco, and it can take upto one day to produce a single litre of oil.
Kahina Giving Beauty is also ecologically responsible (all the packaging is made from recycled material) and is made in a wind powered, carbon neutral facility.
From katharine l'heureux:
Thanks for the nice piece on Kahina and Giving Beauty. I’m so glad you like the products and are helping to spread the word. Your support will help us to reach our goal of building a preschool in the village where we source our argan oil!
