How to choose a cosmetic argan oil?

First of all, point out that a cosmetic argan oil worthy of the name does not smell.
 To be assured of buying a top quality product, only one solution: to be assured that the entire production chain is controlled
 - Nuts collected should not be ingested by the goats that feed on the pulp and discard the core. If the use of these nuts is not prohibited, they give a smell "animal" in oil, some laboratories deodorize with steam. The temperature rise destroyed part of the active ingredients (fatty acids, vitamin E).
 - The kernels should not be roasted. This gives argan oil a characteristic nutty aroma, valued for food use, but little appreciated in cosmetology.
 - The argan oil extraction must be done with mechanical presses low rotation so that the temperature does not exceed 60 ° C. This is the condition that argan oil retains all of its virtues.
 Some mills use modern mills in which the oil can reach over 100 ° C while indicating that it is a "cold pressed"!
 - Artisanal mining means of grinding stones should be avoided. This technique requires prior roasting almonds to reduce the moisture content and enable the extraction of oil. In addition, the dough is kneaded with lukewarm water. This is essentially rainwater stored in cisterns and whose absence of germs and bacteria is far from a reality. The argan oil obtained by this technique has a low scale shelf life (3 months).

- Argan oil obtained must be stored and packaged in glass bottles stored away from light. The plastic bottles do not allow optimal preservation and exposure to light accelerates the oxidation process of argan oil.

 - Finally, the companies marketing the cosmetic argan oil must comply with the law: report of the activity with the AFSSAPS (French Agency for Sanitary Safety of Health Products), declaration to the control centers poison, appointment of a reference person holds a degree defined (doctor, pharmacist, biologist ...), labeling compliance (composition, address, lot number, expiration date).
