100% Certified Organic by Ecocert (to COSMOS standard) First cold pressed, unadulterated, Argan Oil.
Our Argan oil is from a small independent known producer near Agadir Morocco whom we personally visit. it is operated by a cooperative of local Berber women with good working conditions.
The method of harvesting, extraction, and storage is extremely important, the Argan fruit must be gathered from the ground, not the tree, the nuts that have not yet fallen, are not sufficiently ripe. this helps to protect the tree making it sustainable.
Once harvested the nuts are dried for several days in the hot Moroccan sun before de-pulping and cracking by hand.
It is important to recognise that it is most often the women who do the hard work of hulling and shelling the fruit by hand. Once the fruit is prepared, it is then extracted by machine, and filtered several times. We only use first Pressed oil with the residual oil of lower quality also being sold and marked as Argan Oil so it is important to know and trust your brand.
Of course, The PURE Collection works with only one cooperative, that we know pays a fair wage to their women.
Egyptians believed the healing powers of Gold could cure all manner of physical, mental and spiritual ailments. Romans used Gold preparations for treatment of skin lesions and sores. It is believed that Cleopatra wore pure Gold for a radiant complexion. In ancient Chinese medicine, Gold was the secret to youthful skin. Today, Gold flakes are used in the treatment and rejuvenation of skin conditions and many luxury spas use Gold flake treatments to hydrate, firm and moisturise the skin, claiming reduced fine lines and wrinkles resulting in smooth and radiant skin.
Our gold flakes come directly from the Gold Souk in Dubai. 99% total Certified Organic with 1% Gold content being Organic as it is by its nature unable to be certified organic.
