ArgAn oil
Amongst all its natural treasures, Morocco shelters the essence of Berber women’s beauty.
There, at the heart of a unique forest surviving the never ending summer, the fruits of the
Argan tree have revealed a precious oil gifted with outstanding beauty promoting proper-
ties : Argan oil.
A natural Moroccan resource
Coming from the South West of Morocco, where the climate is particular, the Argan tree
is a unique phenomenon. Indeed, it has never produced fruits elsewhere than in its na-
tive region. Threatened by extinction, the Argan forest, that has stood as the last rampart
against the desert’s expansion for millenaries, was classified as a world biosphere reserve by
UNESCO in 1999.
Willing to help preserve such a precious and natural inheritance, LA MAISON DE L’ARGAN
chose to put Argan oil at the forefront by making it one of the key active ingredients of its
skincare line : ar457.
La Maison de l’Argan
Right from the beginning, LA MAISON DE L’ARGAN has committed itself to the Argan cause
by creating and supporting feminine cooperatives in Morocco, thus, protecting a 800 000ha
Argan tree forest. Truly respectful of the millenary and traditional production “savoir-faire”,
LA MAISON DE L’ARGAN has developed unique extraction processes in order to increase the
oil quality while contributing to the timelessness of a true nature miracle.
To achieve the best Argan oil quality, LA MAISON DE L’ARGAN has set rigorous quality
controls, at every fabrication step, from the selection of Argan nuts to oil extraction and
facilitated the Berber women’s working conditions.

3. 100% pure and natural Argan oil
To obtain a single litre of this precious Argan oil, hours of works are necessary. The fruits of
eight Argan trees (about 60kg of fruits) are hardly sufficient, in the good years, to produce
this single litre. Once the fruits are dried, after the pulp removal, they uncover a nut within a
very hard shell. This small nutshell is broken and pressed to extract Argan oil.
An oil gifted with millenary virtues
Natural liquid gold, Argan oil is an outstanding active ingredient that has long been and
continues to be studied by numerous scientists; with new discoveries continuing to be
made.
Extremely rich in unsaturated fatty acids and gifted with a high percentage of linoleic acids,
Argan oil is a powerful substance to fight against the signs of ageing within the skin. Argan
oil contains three times the tocopherol content of any other oil, including Olive oil. This pro-
perty is at the origin of its antioxidant and anti-free radical power and of crucial importance
in its ability to fight against fine lines and wrinkles. Finally, by actively stimulating the cellu-
lar oxygenation, Argan oil favours the preservation and restoration of the hydro lipid layer
and the regeneration of skin cells, all key factors for skin’s firmness, softness and hydration.
ArgAn, THE kEY To Ar457 CodE
From the very beginning, ar457 has been the expression of a single idea and desire to fuse
a millenary fluid with cutting-edge cosmetics using the latest formulas and discoveries to
enhance and refine a natural miracle.
More than just a cosmetic active, Argan oil is the natural focus of the ar457 skincare line and
the key to its virtuous code:
ar argan
4 tocopherols, natural antioxidants that prevent
the skin’s ageing process and the formation of
wrinkles.
5 phytosterols that revitalize the skin and
regenerate cells
7 biomolecules with healing, filtering,
revitalizing, protective and disinfectant properties

4. MASTErY of THE ProduCTion ProCESS
French cosmetic expertise combined with respect of the environ-
ment
The ar457 formulas are created in their own laboratory in France using a patented process
created by the head-pharmacist enabling the thermo sensitive natural ingredients to be
preserved.
This fabrication method is using limited energy, water consumption as well as production
waste. Ar457’s process uses 50 times less energy than the normal, hot temperature manu-
facturing process mostly used by other companies.
unCoMProMiSEd quAliTY
Absolute synergy between technology, nature, tradition and innovation, ar457 embodies
a new approach of skincare; respecting the classic codes of luxury whilst exploring new
horizons. Glamorous, highly efficient, result-based and state-of-the-art, ar457 is definitely
the code of change towards highly efficient skincare.
Unprecedented Argan concentrations
Right from the beginning, quality and efficiency have been among LA MAISON DE L’AR-
GAN’s most important concerns. To reach such standards and provide the customers with
outstanding formulas, LA MAISON DE L’ARGAN has chosen to introduce very high percen-
tages of Argan oil in its formulas. Willing to revolutionize the cosmetic industry and explore
new horizons, ar457 constantly pushes the limits.
Cutting-edge active ingredients
To magnify the formulas’ efficiency, state-of-the-art active ingredients coming from all
around the world are rigorously selected and incorporated, giving each product unprece-
dented virtues. Padina Pavonica, Secret Lotus, Meristem Quercus Robur, Aloe Vera, Kaolin,
Anise Extract, Argan nut powder are some of the revolutionary components that enable the
targeted action of each product. It is this constant and uncompromising search of the most
efficient active ingredients that makes ar457 so exceptional.
Purity
Creative and efficient whilst remaining nature oriented, ar457 skincare line does not contain
any colouring agents nor chemical preservatives such as parabens.
