What is Argan Oil?
It is the essence of the argan tree. Only the oil from the nuts are used. Each batch of nuts is manually ground and pressed by hand.
Absolutely no heat is used to extract the oils. It takes about 12 man hours to produce just 1 litre of our premium argan oil. That’s how precious our argan oil is. 
Argan oil extracted from roasted nutsis used as salad dressing in the middleeast. Unroasted argan oil, which is cold-pressed is the right kind for skin care. Buy great quality argan for skin here.
Why Our Oils Are Offered Only In Small Volume Sizes?
15ml - You only need very small quantities of our oils for it to be effective. This size should last you 2 months.
Other oils may appear to be cheaper, but you need to use more of it and they are riddled with chemicals and pesticides. Completely unsafe for topical application. In the natural skin care industry, you really do get what you pay for.
Main Active Ingredients in Argan Oil
Oleic acid (43-50%), linoleic acid (29.3-37%), palmitric acid (10-15%), strearic acid (4.3-7.2%) and others.
What Do They Do?
The body cannot make any of the unsaturated essential fatty acids (UEFA) listed above. Yet they are vital to healthy skin.
High in anti-oxidants, vital for cell reproduction and health.
What Does That Mean For Your Skin?
Regulates sebum - this is why is it great for both oily and dry skin and combats acne.
Argan is high in UEFA, it is instrumental in cell nutrition, health, reproduction and elimination of waste. This means that skin will be bright, fresh, plump and heal quickly without scaring.

  • Our argan is pure, unadulterated, Australian Certified Organic and cold-pressed. It is the best possible quality you can find on the market.
  • How To Use On Your Face
  • Direct application highly recommended.
  • Ditch your face cream altogether and replace it with argan. Just a little will do. Simply fantastic!
How To Use On Your Body
Ditch your body moisturiser for argan. It doesn’t leave an oily residue but leaves a silky sheen on the skin. If this is too pricy an option, try applying it to extra-dry areas like your knees, elbows, feet and hands. 
How To Use On Hair
Direct application :
i) Use as a hair mask or leave-in conditioner. 3-4 pumps for a hair mask and rinse. Or just 1 pump as a leave-in conditioner.
ii) Rub 0.5 pumps in the palm of your hands and gentle fluff through your hair. Then pat down the ends. It will tame fly-away hairs and add a natural sheen.
To Condition :
We don’t recommend using argan in shampoo as argan does its best work on the hair itself. Not recommended for people with flat oily hair.
Other Uses Of Argan Oil.
Hot bath - Add 4 pumps to a bath. It will leave a natural glow to your skin.
Eczema - It is not known why eczema occurs. However, argan can treat the symptoms. Gently rub into infected areas. Even if your skin has cracked and is weeping, argan can still be applied. It contains no chemicals or steriods. It is safe to use on children with eczema.
Warning - Argan is a nut oil. It is not suitable for people with nut allergies.
After using our premium quality argan oil, you may be tempted to never use moisturiser or conditioner again - Try it today! 
The Science Behind Argan’s Efficacy
According to the Argan Oil Society (www.arganoilsociety.org), Argan oil is able to treat hair, skin, nails, stretch marks and various dermatological conditions due to the presence of essential unsaturated fatty acids like sterols, polyphenols, ferulic acid, linoleic acid and Vitamin E. 
Essential unsaturated fatty acids are important to the human body as they are vital for repairing cell membranes. However, they cannot be synthesised by the body, so they have to be ingested or topically applied. The extra benefit here is that while 80% of Argan oil is made up of unsaturated fatty acids, these fatty acids are extremely high in anti-oxidant properties.
Essential unsaturated fatty acids are also instrumental in obtaining optimum nutrition for cells as well as in excreting harmful waste materials. They also regulate sebum and assist in the formation of prostaglandins. These essential fatty acids are vital for the regulation and maintenance of healthy skin and prevention of premature aging.
Argan's Fatty Acid Profile
Palmitic Acid : 10-15%   Strearic Acid : 4.3-7.2%   Oleic Acid : 43-50%   Linoleic Acid : 29.3-37%
Enter here to discover the function these fatty acids have on your skin. Once you discover just how effective they are, you'll never use synthetic creams again.

HOW I USE ESSENTIAL OILS IN MY DAY by Dianne Little

HELLO,
When I first starting using essential oils, I found it complicated and confusing. I soon reaslied that this was because many retailers bombarded me with an overwhelming amount of information about what essential oils can do. Frankly, I got lost in that sea of information.
While I am in awe of the flexibility of essential oils, when you distill all that information down, certain oils with certain grades and more suited for certain things. So, the information on this website is primarily targeted for skincare and topical application. The reason being is that our products are all therapeutic grade. This means that they have strong remedial and healing properties. Our products are also 100% certified organic. This means that they are pesticide and chemical free.
Put this all together and you get a premium product which is safe (please see disclaimer) and effective for skincare and topical application. It would be a waste to use such premium products in your household cleaners or in a diffuser for scent purposes. So, we've kept it simple - providing information on essential oils for skin radiance because that's what the quality of our oils are designed for.
Your skin is the external representation of you. At The Little Essentials we want to invite you to take care of your skin the best way you can with the best natural skincare you can find.  
I personally use all of the pure essential oils in our range. After all, if I don't use or believe in the quality of my product, why should I expect you too. I wanted to share with you how I personally use essential oils in my day. Perhaps it may give you some inspiration into how to use it in yours.
Also I would like to know how you use The Little Essentials essential oils in your day. I'd love to hear from you via FacebookTwitter or send me a personal email on dianne@thelittleessentials.com.
Warm Regards,
Dianne Little
CEO & Marketing Director
The following is an example of how I use essential oils in my day : 
WEEKDAYWEEKEND
DiffuserIn my car : I reuse Glade car freshners (the kind that comes in a bottle and clips onto your air-con vent). I wash out the wick and bottle and fill the bottle with lemongrass oil. It's a fresh and uplfting scent. 3-4 drops of lemongrass oil into a diffuser. It makes my bathroom smell like a spa.
Skin Day : Eucalyptus spray under my arms. It kills odour causing bacteria which deodarants do not do. However, I use an anti-perspirant after it dries to reduce sweat as essential oils do not help with this.
Night : Replace moisturiser with rosehip
Day: Use a lemongrass spray on my legs. I'm prone to insect bites. Eucalptus works too but doesn't smell as great.
Night : Replace moisturiser with Argan
Hair Argan on my tips to prevents fly-away hairs and repair split ends.
I use a tea tree hair spray to give my hair a nice scent. 
In the Pool : I rub rosehip onto my hair to seal the shaft. It prevents chlorine from entering into it and drying it out. Rosehip is a dry oil so it won't disappate into the pool
Face Day - Tea tree spray as a face toner. I suffer from acne and tea tree is toxic to bacteria found in acne. Night - I use 1 pump of argan under my eyes, my face and neck. I do not own night cream. Although I'm prone to acne. Argan oil has actually reduced my acne.

5 Uses of Rosehip Seed Oil that don’t have to do with scars or stretch marks




Premium Australian Certified Organic Rosehip Seed Oil from Chile.

  1. Before a swim, lightly coat your hair with rosehip. It will seal the hair shafts and disallow chlorine and odour from penetrating your hair. The oil will not dissipate into the water.
  2. Rosehip has strong anti-inflammatory qualities. Research has shown that rubbing it onto areas which suffer from arthritis actually reduce pain and swelling.
  3. Rosehip has hormone-balancing qualities. It has similar qualities to Evening Primrose Oil in helping to reduce menstral cramps and regulating cycles.
  4. Helps strengthen brittle nails.
  5. Helps add shine to your hair. It’s an heavy oil so use it to finish a hair setting.
