Lonely Planet review

Argan oil is both a effective cosmetic and a tasty gourmet treat and the speciality of this women's cooperative. Get yours at this women-run shop, and reward artisanal producers for tough work sorting argan pits from goat dung, cracking the rock-hard pits open, and pressing oil from the nut. The richly emollient end product has long protected skin, and now European cosmetics companies use it as the secret botanical ingredient in high-end creams.
