How it all began ...

Arganier’s story began the day I became a mother. My daughter, and later my son, were born with severe food allergies. The worst their doctors had ever seen. That marked the beginning of a new journey for me. A journey where I had to learn everything about nutrition, health and diets

I had to check every label at the grocery store, as even special diets products were not suitable for my children.They all had preservatives and other components that would trigger a reaction.

As I started to learn more and more about nutrition and how it can affect our overall health, I thought about how my children would react to crumbs of peanuts or drops of milk when they would come in contact with their skin. They would immediately get hives or pimples.This meant that the allergen crossed their skin barrier and got to their bloodstream in no time. I realized that our skin absorbs just as much, if not more than our digestive system, and just like what goes inside our bodies has an impact on our health, so does what goes on our bodies. As a result of that, I stared to pay attention to labels and ingredients on cosmetics to see what I was putting on my body on a daily basis. Very quickly I discovered that, just like in the food industry, it was really hard to find cosmetics made with only pure wholesome organic ingredients.

Yes, there were brands that claimed to be all natural and organic but upon a closer look, I soon realized that they still had numerous ingredients I could barely read or recognize. How could I trust their safety knowing that the cosmetic industry is fairly new and no long-term studies were done on all these ingredients? And, If they were not ingredients I would eat, how could I apply them to my skin knowing that the skin absorbs everything that is applied to it?

The only answer to these questions was to start making my own products. Just like I was making our own food. From scratch, using simple organic ingredients.

Being originally from Morocco, I naturally gravitated towards staples that were used by our grandmothers for centuries and  had a proven record of benefiting the hair and the skin like Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil or Castor Oil. I began to learn more about each one of them specifically and the benefits they had to offer. I found out how combining them could create the exact formula I was looking for to grow my hair while moisturizing it or nourish my skin while reducing signs of aging. Without adding any chemicals or preservatives, I turned all these ingredients into beauty products that would show long lasting results, all while preserving and enhancing our overall health.

I started sharing my products with friends and family first, and since I was receiving very positive feedback I began selling them locally before taking the adventure a step further and going online this past summer.
