Promote Wound Healing

Argan oil may hasten the healing of wounds. One experiment on animals showed that using argan oil twice daily for 14 days on rats with second-degree burns significantly accelerated the healing of the wounds. Despite the fact that nothing in this data can be said to be definitive, it does point to a potential role for argan oil in tissue regeneration and wound healing.

The bulk of the fat in argan oil is made up of oleic and linoleic acids, which are essential for keeping healthy hair. Although it is frequently used topically for skin and hair, argan oil may also be useful when taken internally. In one trial, argan oil was used topically and orally to help postmenopausal women's skin retain hydration. Even while argan oil hasn't been specifically studied for its role in hair health, some research suggests that other plant oils with a similar nutritional profile may lessen split ends and other forms of hair damage.
