Born in Souss, Morocco

The story behind Arganosa

The Souss region of Morocco is the only place on Earth where the argan tree grows wild. That is where our oil begins: 100% pure, cold-pressed, and handcrafted by local women using centuries-old techniques.

A legacy of women's hands

Arganosa is not just a product; it's a movement rooted in the hands of women. Every drop of our pure argan oil is made possible by the dedication, skill and strength of Moroccan women working in local cooperatives in the Agadir region.

These women don't just produce oil. They preserve cultural heritage, protect the environment and help uplift future generations. Producing a single litre of argan oil can take several days. These women are not factory workers. They are artisans.
