SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Argan oil's squalene content (6-7%) is among the highest of all plant oils, second only to olive oil. squalene is an endogenous skin lipid that declines with age, making argan oil's high squalene level particularly relevant for anti-aging facial use โ replenishing both essential fatty acids and age-depleting skin lipids simultaneously.
