The Argan fruit is a stone fruit rather than a tree nut; however, the oil is derived from the fruit’s nut, which contains the proteins that trigger allergic responses. Accordingly, those with nut allergies should be cautious about using Argan Oil, as there have been some cases, though rare, that have reported adverse reactions. Despite the fact that Argan Oil is largely used in cosmetics for the purpose of treating acne and wrinkles, it may potentially cause an allergic reaction that could involve acne as well as anaphylaxis, difficulty breathing, rashes, and itchy, red, scaly skin. These reactions could possibly be caused by impure or low quality Argan Carrier Oil. It is recommended that a skin patch test be conducted on a small area on the inner arm to test for any potential reactions.

How is ARGAN oil extracted
The Argan fruit is small and is either round, oval, or conical in shape. It ripens and falls from the tree in the late summer; it is never picked from the trees. Its outermost layer is a thick peel, which protects the fleshy pulp that encloses a nut with a hard shell. This nut comprises 25% of the fruit’s weight and holds up to three kernels that are rich in oil. Depending on the extraction method, the kernels yield 30% to 50% of the oil. To produce 1 kg of oil, 30 kg of Argan nuts are required.
