I don't understand, do you have anything against the Amazigh, these women are amazigh, amazigh, yes amazigh so what, and tell us about you are you sure you're a pure arab, And i need to explain something for you, well my dear first of all , argan is not a tradition, argan is a tree and if it is related to amazigh, i think all of us are very proud we have something very unique as the argan tree. so please mind the others when you share your thoughts

@SoSoniLove Berbers are the indigenous people of Morocco, but the Arabs settled in Morocco also. The majority of the Moroccan population consists of Arabs and Berbers, but most of the Moroccan Arabs are said to be of Berber descent. So in answer to your question; Some Moroccans are Arab while some are Berber n.n Hope that helped! x

Yes this oil is wonderful, to tell the truth. One day i used it as i was in a visit of one of my friends who originates from Agadir. I noticed at once the good effect it lets on my skin. Also its very delicious when it is mixed up with almonds in powder. this mixture of the two products is called Amlo. Amlo can be eaten with bread.
