Beautiful Morocco. Beautiful You.

Those who know me, know I love Morocco.  As proof, visit my travel website, http://www.wanderwomanonline.com/ and check out the picture of me in the Sahara and read my essay.

So, I was thrilled to discover Kahina, a line of argan oil beauty products from the country.  Highly concentrated with nutrients, the oil is extracted from the nut of the argan tree which only grows in Morroco.  It's sustainable and its saving forests in southwest Morocco.

Everything is 100% organic, the outer packaging is made from 100% post-consumer waste and 25% of the profits are donated to support the women who work in the cooperatives.  I was touched that each blue bottle bears the signature of the women who are taught to write, use cell phones and navigate local bus routes.

This is fair trade at its finest, spurred by the founder's journey to Morocco.

I recommend the travel basics kit, which includes a 1-2-3 skin care regime that meets TSA flight regulations.  I've been using argan oil at my hairline to combat winter itching and flaking.
