Argan Bio

In the region of Essaouira, in Morocco, Berber women are responsible for gathering argan nuts and extracting the oil. Often described as «miraculous», argan oil encapsulates both the authenticity of an age-old beauty ingredient and ancestral traditions. This unique ingredient has the power to nourish and soften dry skin. Fascinated by the richness of its argan oil, Melvita decided to concoct exquisite formulas around this exceptional ingredient. And so it created velvety textures with a delicate oriental scent, for soft and nourished skin. Argan oil is fair trade and approved in accordance with the Ecocert ESR* standard (Fairness, Solidarity and Responsibility). Melvita has committed to three-year contracts with its partner in Morocco, which employs almost 190 women. A fair price is agreed (validated by Ecocert) and a 50% down payment is made on orders.
