Kahina Giving Beauty Giveaway
You may remember be touting the benefits of Argan Oil in a few postings here on Prissy Green. One of those posts was a review on Kahina-Giving Beauty. There are two things that separate Kahina’s Argan Oil products from others, Exceptional products and 25% of profits from the Kahina line go to educational and women’s rights programs for the women of the argan cooperatives.
The Berber Women
The argan oil is extracted through a very labor intensive process which is performed by the Berber woman. This is one of the only ways these women can earn money and have any sense of financial freedom. Kahina is actively involved and makes several trips a year to nurture relations with these women.
The Kahina company even taught the mostly illiterate women how to write their names! Their signatures are the designs of the bottles.
So if you read back on my review of Kahina, you will know I was fascinated at how an oil I had never heard of had transformed my skin. I used it during and after a vacation and it really helped heal my tanned skin.
And now you have the opportunity to try Kahina-Giving Beauty for yourself! Kahina would like to give one Prissy Green reader an Eye Serum, Cleanser and Argan Oil Serum. This is a $179 Value!
Here is a little about each item.
The Kahina Eye Serum:
In this superbly anti-aging serum, the Vitamin E and antioxidants naturally present in organic argan oil combine with rhodiola root extract, shown to reduce puffiness, and sugar beet extract, ideal for minimizing dark circles, along with skin revitalizing Vitamin C and collagen boosting peptides to smooth and firm the delicate skin around the eyes. Light enough for daily use, Kahina eye serum is also ideal for use on the fragile skin of the lip and neck areas.
Ideal for daily use. Light enough to be used under makeup or concealer
Kahina Facial Cleanser:
Our gentle cleanser washes away impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. The high concentrations of vitamin E and fatty acids in Argan Oil replace moisture loss, while Willowbark and Papaya extracts gently tone, exfoliate and brighten the skin. Naturally scented with neroli oil extracted from orange flowers.
Use morning and evening before moisturizing.
Kahina Serum:
Extremely rich in fatty acids and beta-carotene, our organic restorative serum utilizes the recuperative properties of organic argan oil, boosted by organic sea buckthorn seed oil and organic coffee oil, as well as other organic and natural ingredients that provide necessary nutrients for skin healing and rejuvenation. The high concentrations of Vitamins E and A naturally present in these ingredients protect skin while repairing tissue damage, preventing moisture loss and calming irritation.

Kahina and Giving Beauty Review
Giving Beauty will source key ingredients from women’s cooperatives around the world and donate a portion of the profits back to the women who work to provide the raw materials for the Giving Beauty products.
Kahina, which is based on 100% organic argan oil sourced from the women’s cooperatives of Morocco, is the first line of products to be released under the Giving Beauty label and has just launched online at Kahina and Giving Beauty. There are currently four products which make for an effective, simple organic skincare regimen.
If you are not familiar with argan oil, it is a beauty secret Moroccan women have used for centuries. Morocco is the only place in the world where the argan trees, from which the oil is harvested, grow.
Extremely rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants, argan oil has been shown to neutralize free radicals, minimize fine lines, restore elasticity, improve skin tone, reduce inflammation and protect the skin from harmful environmental agents. Every product in the Kahina – Giving Beauty line contains high concentrations of certified organic argan oil combined with other beneficial organic and natural ingredients for a luxurious and highly effective skin care regimen.
Kahina is actually the name of a Jewish Berber queen and prophetess Kahina, who reigned circa 700 AD and successfully resisted the first Arab invaders. Kahina is a heroine to the Berber women and represents empowerment and vision for women worldwide.
Katharine LâHeureux, the woman behind the line has tons of incredible 
images of the women of the co-op that she actually shot herself. I love the one of the women practicing signing her name that is attached. this is something most of these women could not do before the co-op they work in started to offer literacy programs.The women’s signatures are incorporated into the Kahina packaging design. How cool is that? the packages are gorgeous aren’t they?
I love argan oil simply for the fact that it doesn’t break me out. Everything else does and how surprising that an oil doesn’t! The deal is that it is so beneficial and has these great anti-bacterial properties that it truly heals the skin down to the dermis allowing the oils to really penetrate and fully heal every level of skin.
Your skin is constantly being deprived of the nutrients needed to maintain its necessary levels of collagen due to age and environmental stress. Argan oil is a natural solution to defend against premature aging and UV exposure. Argan oil is particularly effective against aging and cell degeneration, as well as dryness, skin inflammation, acne and scars. Argan oil contains exceptionally high levels of fatty acids including linoleic acid (omega-6) which ensure skin’s repair and protective functions. They stimulate intracellular oxygenation, thus favoring restoration of the hydrolipid film by increasing nutrient levels in cutaneous cells, and by providing essential moisture to the skin. The essential fatty acids fight against drying, smoothing out the skin, improving its elasticity, and discouraging wrinkles to appear. Making it a grand beauty treatment.
You only need a tiny bit to smooth over your whole skin, and please don’t forget your eyes! This is great for the soft and thin eye tissue!
I was so very happy to try out their 100% Pure Argan Oil. If you apply too much it can be a teeny bit oily, but come on, it is oil! Just use sparingly and you will be fine. I could literally feel my skin thanking me, and drinking the benefits in. It has a slightly nutty smell, but doesn’t smell bad at all. It has really helped when i use it after my oil cleansing method. I also use a little jojoba oil that I have mixed up with some tea tree, lavender and cedarwood oils. My skin is so acne prone I have to take every precaution!
I also sampled the Serum from Kahina, I use it on my face when I get dry, and it transforms my skin over night. It also helps my nails grow and keep my cuticles nice and moisturized. Again you only need a tiny bit so a 1oz bottle should last for months! My cuticles have never been healthier. And what a difference it has made on my over-tanned skin from vacation! It truly penetrates that level of skin that most moisturizers don’t and gets to the nitty gritty of healthy skin!
Try it for yourself! just head on over to Kahina-Giving Beauty
