Product Description
Shea Terra is one of the pioneer Argan Oil brands in the U.S. having introduced argan oil to the American skin care market in 2003. Shea Terra founder, Tammie Umbel, searched high and low to locate only the best argan oil in Morocco. Unlike other argan oils produced from nuts harvested along ocean shores which produce inferior fruits due to its relatively high salt content, Shea Terra’s argan nuts are collected from the well-protected Atlas mountain trees. The fruits in this region are large and possess a higher level of vitamin E compared to their coastal counterpart.
Due to the costly labor required to harvest and produce this precious oil, Argan oil is often diluted by producers in Morocco or by middlemen somewhere between the sale of the oil and the bottling process. These so-called argan oils often have no smell, which means it has already been highly heated, refined and deodorized. These processes denature the oil and decreases its vitamin content. Shea Terra takes pride in producing untampered argan oil that isn’t refined or deodorized. It is also freshly cold-pressed and swiftly air-freighted into the United States, ensuring that the oil retain its optimum vitamin content.
Argan and rosemary oils are two tough oils for pulling out dirt and grime from pores. At the same time, they are also super gentle on skin. Overuse of soap strips the skin of beneficial oils that help maintain skin elasticity and eliminate wrinkle-forming scaling. This leaves skin feeling dull and dry. Argan & Rosemary Facial Cleansing Oil is strong enough to get rid of debris and the scum that soap leaves behind, while also nourishing and moisturizing skin, leaving skin feeling refreshed, super soft and beautifully glowing. Distilled rosemary oil is an ancient beautifying treasure that helps purify and tone skin, leaving it blemish-free. You will be amazed at how dirty your cotton ball is even after having just washed with soap. No need to apply oil afterwards as this oil leaves skin protected all day long.
Tammie Umbel, Shea Terra’s founder, has been exploring remote villages throughout Africa for the rarest, power-packed ingredients on the planet since 2000. Shea Terra works with indigenous tribes to discover these potent ancestral plants and minerals and offers these Superhero Ingredients through our concentrated formulas.
Argan Oil
One of the rarest, most exotic oils in the world, the golden oil of the argan plant is found only in a small region of Morocco. A close relative to the shea tree, the argan fruit kernel produces rich, anti-aging oil high in antioxidant vitamin E, polyunsaturated and fatty acids. The unique combination of antioxidant and moisturizing properties in this oil can help to maintain skin elasticity while preventing moisture loss that can contribute to the aging process. This oil can make the skin look softer while limiting the appearance of stretch marks, under eye circles, burns and wrinkles as well and damage from smoking, pollution or harsh sunlight. It can help to regulate sebum so the skin will not look greasy and manage the body’s pH so the skin will be less likely to become irritated.
Since 2000, Shea Terra has been on a quest for natural beauty wisdom throughout Africa, exploring remote villages, trekking through miles of desert on camel back, and sailing into the depths of Nubia. Our journey has allowed us to tap into a wealth of indigenous knowledge and share these remote beauty secrets with the world. Through our diverse line of skin and hair care products, you can embark on this journey of beauty wisdom with us.
Is Your Argan Oil the Real Deal?
Since high-quality argan oil is costly to source and produce, requiring hours of labor, there are lots of imitation or inferior argan oil out there. If you’re paying little for your argan oil, you are probably not getting pure, high-quality argan oil.
Argan oil is commonly diluted with oils such as sunflower. Some “argan” oils have been found to not contain any argan oil at all. Argan oil is often diluted by producers in Morocco or by middlemen somewhere between the sale of the oil and the bottling process.
Despite attempts to export and grow the argan tree worldwide, Morocco is the only place in the world where the tree grows. Practically all argan oil, except ours, is produced from nuts gathered along the ocean shore of Morocco, since that’s a well-established trade route for argan oil. Unfortunately, the high salt content in this region produces inferior fruits. The trees that bare our argan oil grow high in the Atlas Mountains where the fruits grow large and healthy. It has been shown that argan oil produced from the fruits in this area is much higher in vitamin E than the oil produced from the fruits along the coast.
Shea Terra is founded by Tammie Umbel, an enterprising super mom, who built the company while homeschooling 14 of her children. Shea Terra grew out of Tammie’s vision to develop natural skin care treatments that would not only heal and beautify those who use them, but also empower and enrich the lives of many impoverished villages and families throughout Africa.
Since early 2000, Shea Terra Organics has been working with cooperatives and conservation groups to source natural, organic ingredients in a sustainable and ethical way that would create economic opportunities and preserve wildlife. We share these indigenous, time-tested healing ingredients through our breadth of product lines, which include facial care, body treatments, hair herbals and maternity & newborn remedies.
