From the small unit founded by Mohammed Azbane at km 8 on the Route d’El Jadida to the exporting group it is today, Les Laboratoires Azbane have embodied the dynamism of “Made in Morocco” beauty for more than half a century. Specialists in argan oil and hotel amenities, this family-owned company employs over 400 people and operates on three continents through offices in Paris and San Diego.

A family heritage focused on innovation

Visionary beginnings

In 1970, Mohammed Azbane foresaw the rise of natural cosmetics and created his laboratory to showcase Morocco’s botanical wealth—especially the argan tree, endemic to the southwest. His intuition quickly placed the brand at the heart of prestige hotels and national pharmacies.

Succession and governance

The entrepreneurial spirit lives on: the second generation now steers strategy while preserving the founding values of quality, ethics, and responsibility.

Industrial excellence and international certifications

A GMP/ISO production site in Casablanca

Spread over several hectares, the factory meets GMP-Cosmetics and ISO 22716 standards. In-house R&D and quality-control laboratories ensure compliance with EU, FDA VCP, and Middle-East regulations.

A multidisciplinary team of 400 experts

Formulators, pharmacists, process engineers, and logisticians work in synergy to develop bespoke face, body, spa, and amenity ranges for major hotel chains and private brands.

Mastering argan: from seed to bottle

Sustainable supply chain and traceability

A founding member of the Moroccan Argan Oil Interprofessional Federation, Azbane secures its supply from certified organic women’s cooperatives. Every batch is tested for tocopherol and essential-fatty-acid content.

Product innovation

Cold-pressed virgin oils, clean formulas free of parabens and colorants, recyclable packaging—the R&D team blends naturalness with sensorial performance, as seen in brands such as Arganine™, Thé Vert, and the award-winning “Beard Care” collection.

International presence and comprehensive B2B services

Offices in Paris and San Diego

These commercial hubs provide regulatory and logistical support to European and North American partners while fostering cultural proximity with the markets.

Private Label & OEM

Les Laboratoires Azbane develop exclusive lines for distributors, spas, and palaces—from visual-identity design to final packaging—with flexible minimums and competitive lead times.

Social responsibility and sustainable development

Empowering rural women

By working with more than 1 000 argan gatherers, the group supports female employment, schooling, and ongoing training in the Essaouira region.

Eco-design and carbon footprint reduction

Recyclable bottles, plant-based inks, on-site renewable energy, and optimized logistics reflect a continuous-improvement approach aligned with the UN’s SDGs.
