Bloty Marrakech

Argan Oil & Prickly Pear Oil: Morocco's "liquid gold," Argan oil, and the rarer Prickly Pear Seed Oil (known for its anti-aging properties) are readily available. These are typically cold-pressed and sold for both cosmetic (skin/hair) and culinary use. It is best to purchase them from reputable vendors, often women's cooperatives, to ensure purity. Stalls often double as traditional apothecaries, selling herbs, natural remedies, dried flowers, and traditional beauty products like kohl eyeliner, and even items with folkloric medicinal uses.
