Argan Oil
Description: Argan Oil is a cosmetic oil (INCI: Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree. It is a light, balanced oil rich in oleic and linoleic acids with natural tocopherols (vitamin E). Argan oil absorbs well, adds shine to hair without heaviness and is a favourite base for face oils, hair serums and body care. It is available in 100ml, 200ml and 500ml, with 1L to 20L on the Argan Oil Wholesale page. Suitable for most skin types; patch test first.
Why It’s Special:
- Balanced Fatty Acids: A mix of oleic and linoleic acids that suits most skin types.
- Shine Without Weight: It smooths and adds gloss to hair without a greasy finish.
- Natural Vitamin E: It naturally contains tocopherols.
How to Enjoy Argan Oil: For hair, warm 2 to 3 drops between your palms and smooth over the ends of damp or dry hair. For the face, press 2 to 4 drops into damp skin after cleansing, or add a drop to your moisturiser. For the body, apply to damp skin after showering. Is argan oil good for hair? It is one of the most popular hair oils because it smooths and adds shine without weighing hair down. Will argan oil clog pores? It is generally considered light and well tolerated. Patch test first, as every skin is different.
Creative Inspirations:
