The high dose of fatty acids in argan oil such as Omega-6, Omega-9, vitamin A, tocopherol and linoleic acid can provide soothing, anti-aging, anti-oxidant and moisturizing properties to skin[1]. It can make hair look shinier, eliminating limp tresses and strengthening the hair, increasing manageability, reducing breakage, preventing frizz and split ends.
Olive oil is packed with anti-oxidants such as squalene, that is known for its skin health benefits that can help repair skin damage[2]. The natural conditioner properties of olive oil add moisture to the scalp for soft and shiny hair.
Adding to the skin and hair benefits of the body and hair care collection is a blend of botanical extracts, butter, oils and vitamins that provide 4 times the essential ingredients to optimize moisturisation and conditioning performance.
The Botaneco Garden Organic Argan & Virgin Olive Oil Hair and Body Collection has been dermatologically tested and proven and is safe for use on almost all skin types.
