4. HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO KERATIN OIL?
Argan oil and keratin oil are two different types of oils that have the same objective: to help in the treatment of hair loss. Argan oil is a type of plant-based liquid and keratin oil is derived from animal sources, such as cow, sheep, goat, horse, or pig.
Both types of oils contain antioxidants that can help in fighting off oxidative stress to prevent further damage or redness and inflammation to your skin.

Argan oil is a light, nutty-tasting liquid that is extracted using cold pressing from the kernels of argan trees. Its high smoke point makes it a popular choice when used in cooking. It can also be applied on the skin and hair to help nourish both. Argan oil is rich in vitamin E, amino acids, and fatty acids that are known for their therapeutic properties. It contains linoleic acid and oleic acid, which can help restore skin’s natural elasticity because of its ability to penetrate deep into the skin layers.
Argan oil moisturizes the skin, including hair strands, to reduce frizziness and tame flyaway hair. It is also known to quickly penetrate into the scalp and hair follicles, making it absorbable by the body. The essential fatty acids in argan oil can help reduce hair loss because of its keratin-strengthening properties, as well as its ability to improve blood circulation within your scalp.
