So, I'm interested in healing oils, right? I come across this fancy oil at Sephora, called argun oil. Argun oil, I'm thinking, wtf?

Argan Oil is a legendary oil that's rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, and grown organically in Morocco. Argan oil is known to have many treatment benefits . .

$50 bucks for less than 2 oz, btw. Fine. But according to WikiP, you eat it, too. Culinary uses, it says. From a desert tree, it says. Still fine. BUT:

Berbers . . . would collect undigested argan pits from the waste of goats which climb the trees to eat their fruit. The pits were then ground and pressed to make the nutty oil used in cooking and cosmetics.
Yikes! Of course it goes on to say that modern argun oil is processed in a "veritably clean and sanitary way."

I guess that means they wash the shit off first now.
