The work of extracting Argan oil has been associated with Berber women for centuries

Therefore, the women often have to turn their heads off and take care of their families, so that they can afford to finance their families. It is because of the elaborate work of making oil that has many uses so Argan oil is famous all over North Africa and exported to many other countries.
