Argan oil: The holistic properties of this precious oil are endless: it's nourishing for the skin, heals brittle nails, brings shine to the hair, and improves the overall appearance of the skin and hair. Argan oil is a rich source of antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols.

It is rich in minerals such as magnesium, iron, calcium, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, and silica. This untreated and naturally dried clay has a silk-like feel and can help even out skin tone and reduce blemishes. It also has the unique ability to both nourish skin and reduces breakouts.
