Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
Argania spinosa kernel oil, commonly known as argan oil, is a plant oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree native to Morocco. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (mainly oleic and linoleic acids), tocopherols (vitamin E), and polyphenols. In food products, argan oil is used for its nutty flavor and potential antioxidant properties. It is considered GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient.
