s cosmetic creators, we have always strived to
design the most beautiful and efficient skincare,
taking our inspirations both from the wonders
of nature and from some of the most sophisticated cos-
metic discoveries worldwide. However, with Katima'A,
the result went far beyond our expectations.
It was in the middle of the Sahara desert that Argan
oil was first unveiled to us and inspired us on a unique
journey of discovery, where very quickly it became
apparent that we had found not only the most precious
active ingredient in the world but that it would revolu-
tionize both our vision of cosmetics and the vision of all
the people and professionals who tried it.
Since this incredible revelation, we have kept on resear-
ching ways that we can not only enhance the natural
properties of this unique beauty treasure but also how Katima'A is the fulfillment of this dream, to blend

4. An ancient treasure
Amongst all its natural treasures, Morocco shelters the
essence of Berber women’s beauty. There, at the heart of
a unique forest surviving the never ending summer, the
fruits of the Argan tree have revealed a precious oil gifted
with outstanding beauty and health promoting properties:
Argan oil.
Found in the South West of Morocco, where the climate is
semi desert, the Argan tree is a unique phenomenon. The
Argan forest, once threatened by extinction, has stood as the
last rampart against the desert’s expansion for millenaries,
until in 1999 it was classified as a world biosphere by
UNESCO.
Wanting to be part of preserving such a precious and natural
inheritance, LA MAISON DE L’ARGAN chose to put Argan oil
at the forefront by making it the key active ingredient of its
entire skincare line: Katima’A.
The beauty secrets of Argan

cause skin ageing, Argan oil is an unavoidable ally to fight
against the effects of time.

the historical contributor of ethical fair trade by bringing
the production tools and logistic supports, necessary to the
creation of the Ait Baha cooperative. By giving to the latter
the function of LA MAISON DE L’ARGAN’s unique Argan
oil supplier, the process has enabled to ensure regular
revenues to these women; for the first time in history they
have become independent and have benefitted from a real
social status.

quality of our oil, thus strengthening our difference.
