This blend pairs two oils. Argan oil comes from the argan tree of southwest Morocco,
where families and women’s cooperatives gather the fallen fruit and crack each nut
between two stones to free the kernels. It is golden and silky. Tamanu oil comes
from a coastal tree of the Pacific, Madagascar and Southeast Asia, whose kernels
must dry for weeks before they give up their thick green oil. It is rich, with a
nutty, slightly spicy scent. Blended together, argan lightens tamanu into an oil
that spreads easily on face and body.

**Why supply is limited:** argan nuts are cracked by hand in one small corner of
Morocco, and tamanu fruit is collected from scattered wild or village trees.

Patch test on the inner arm before first use. Keep away from the eyes. Store somewhere
cool and dark with the cap closed.

## FAQs

### Why blend argan with tamanu?

Tamanu is thick and strongly scented. Argan softens it into a silkier oil that is
easier to use.

### What does it smell like?

Mildly nutty and slightly spicy from the tamanu.

### Is it heavy?

It is richer than argan alone but spreads easily.
