S+O has collaborated with Atelier Doré on their first creative retreat, The Art of Storytelling in Marrakech, Morocco. Together, we present this Argan body oil supplemented with the essences of neroli,  jasmine and a hint of almond. Argania spinosa is known as the “Tree of Life” by Moroccans, where it grows naturally in a semi-desert region between Marrakech and the Atlantic port cities of Agadir and Essaouira. The oil was formulated to maximize the beautifying benefits of argan with pleasant floral notes familiar to those who have visited the vibrant country.

Khadija El Fakla is a member of the Marjana Cooperative located near Essaouira, Morocco. Khadija works alongside sixty-five local women who harvest and process argan kernels into two different oils, one for culinary and the other for cosmetic purposes. It is believed that the anti-oxidant rich oils derived from the tree have been utilized by the natives for nearly three thousand five hundred years to sustain their diets and beauty regimens.
