The Full Story
About
The Arganist is a 100% organic, 100% natural skincare brand dedicated to pure, luxurious simplicity. Each bottle of our signature face oil is a blend of cold-pressed Moroccan Argan oil, Rosehip oil, and carefully chosen essential oils, designed to nourish the skin, calm the mind, and uplift the spirit.
Our founder, Helen, discovered the magic of argan oil at a Berber women’s co-operative in Morocco, where the nuts are hand-cracked and pressed using centuries-old traditional methods. This co-operative supports women who have overcome hardship, giving them meaningful employment and independence. Every 30ml bottle of The Arganist Face Oil requires around 8kg of dried argan fruit to produce, resulting in a product that’s both precious and powerful, with no additives, no artificial colourings, and no preservatives.
Inspired by her own struggles with sensitive skin and allergies to mainstream beauty products, Helen set out to create a skincare line that is gentle, transparent, and truly natural. The result is The Arganist, a celebration of purity, craftsmanship, and self-care.
Mission
At The Arganist, our mission is to redefine luxury skincare. We believe that what you put on your skin should be as honest and natural as what you put in your body. Our oils are ethically sourced, small-batch crafted, and free from synthetic additives, ensuring that every drop nourishes your skin.
We honour the Berber traditions behind argan oil production and support the women’s co-operatives that make it possible. Through this, we aim to empower artisans, preserve cultural heritage, and promote fair-trade practices.
Every bottle of our Essential Face Oil is a connection to nature, a moment of stillness, and a reminder that beauty is found in simplicity.
