“I first heard of Argan oil in 2005 on a business trip to France. It
was in Paris that I bought my very first Argan oil at a
pharmaceutical store.
I really didn’t quite understand every word of the French-
speaking pharmacist’s bubbly introduction to the oil.
Nevertheless, I was promised that the oil would be
“extraordinarily moisturizing”. I simply had to find out more.
I realized that I had found something miraculous. Indulgent and
gentle on the very first touch – I was instantly thrilled by this oil.
It absorbed in a blink of an eye and made my dry skin glow. On
my next trip I bought several bottles of Argan oil and even
brought it to my friends and family, who also praised the oil for
its hydrating effect and lovely feel on the skin.
Soon I started to search the internet and Finnish cosmetic
shops for Argan oil. I made some bad purchases, too. You see,
there are numerous products that are being marketed as Argan
oil yet only contain an extremely poor amount of the oil. I
learned to read product descriptions and to always seek for a
“100% pure, cold pressed, certified virgin Argan oil”.
When I dived even deeper into the composition and benefits of
Argan oil, I became convinced of how good the oil is, not only
for the skin’s wellbeing but also for the heart when used as a
culinary oil. As for Morocco’s women that often come from poor
circumstances, Argan oil has become a blessing.
These values went well with my outlook on life. And so, little by
little, I started playing with the thought of making Argan oil
available for the women living in Finland. Okabo Organics was
born – a cosmetic series specialized in natural and organic
ingredients. Our mission is to simplify beauty routines in a
natural way, 100% pure Argan oil being our main product and
star ingredient.”
With love,
