Argan Oil has a unique, rich and complex chemical
composition. Argan Oil has
traditionally been used for
hair, skin and nail care,
massage, curing stretch
marks and the treatment of
various dermatological
conditions. Such
multitasking is possible
only due to the presence of
various chemical and
biological components. Argan
Oil contains essential
unsaturated fatty acids in
abundance. Besides it
contains sterols,
polyphenols, ferulic acid,
linoleic acid and
considerably high levels of
Vitamin E. All these
components separately or in
synergy with each other
perform multitude of
functions that are
associated with Argan Oil.
Let's have a closer look
into some of these very
important components in
Argan Oil and see how they
work to benefit human body.
Essential Unsaturated Fatty
Acids
Fatty acids are necessary
for human body in many ways,
but they are not synthesized
by the body. Therefore they
can only be obtained through
some external means like
diet or oil treatment such
as Argan Oil.
Luckily
enough, Argan Oil contains
as much as 80% of essential
fatty acids in its overall
composition. All the fatty
acids present in Argan Oil
have antioxidant and
moisturizing properties.
They are vital for
manufacturing and repairing
cell membranes. They are
also instrumental in
obtaining optimum nutrition
as well as in excreting
harmful waste meterials.
These fatty acids regulate
the sebum production by
sebaceous glands and go in
the formation of
prostaglandins. These
essential fatty acids are
all important for the
regulation and maintenance
of healthy skin and
prevention of premature
aging signs.
Prostaglandins
As said earlier,
prostaglandins formed from
fatty acids under enzyme
action within the cell, are
important in catalyzing
numerous processes. They are
anti-inflammatory and have a
bearing on overall cell
development and growth.
Vitamin E
Importance of this fat
soluble vitamin can't be
over emphasized. Excellent
anti-free radicals and
antioxidant Vitamin E
protects the Vitamin A
levels and essential fatty
acids in the body. It is
anti-inflammatory and gives
strength to capillary walls.
It prevents the evaporation
of moisture from epidermis
in skin. It acts as a
barrier against aging of
cells and promotes the
nourishment of cells.
Vitamin E is seen to be very
helpful against scarring
from wounds and stretch
marks.
Polyphenols
Polyphenols or phenolic
compounds present in Argan
Oil are natural components
of most the plants. These
compounds have the
reputation of being
anti-inflammatory,
antiseptic, anti aging, anti
allergic and antioxidant.
Ferulic Acid
Ferulic Acid is the most
abundant phenolic compound
present in Argan Oil. Its
antioxidant potency
increases on exposure to
ultra violet radiations,
thus is is a very potent
barrier against the damaging
effects of ultra violet
radiation. It is an
important ingredient in anti
aging mixtures.
Carotenoids
Natural fat soluble
carotenoids protect the skin
from ultra violet radiation
and free radical reactivity.
They maintain healthy skin
and are an effective barrier
against arthritis.
Sterols
Chemical structure of plant
sterols and human sterols is
strikingly similar.
Therefore sterols present in
Argan Oil work in great
harmony with human skin.
They perform a multitude of
functions as part of Argan
Oil like keeping structural
integrity of cell membrane,
reducing inflammation,
improving skin metabolism
process and moisture
retention. They are primary
component of the outermost
layer of human skin and
functions like an optimal
barrier. Sterols are very
easily absorbable and
penetrable.
