How to Use Our Cold Pressed & Deodorized Argan Oil

Our Cold Pressed & Deodorized Organic Argan Oil offers a range of benefits for your face, body, hair, and nails. Here's how to use it for the best results:

Face

Begin by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. Place a few drops of argan oil onto your fingertips and massage it into your skin using upward circular motions. Avoid the eye area and allow the oil to absorb fully before applying other skincare products or makeup.

Body

After showering, apply argan oil to slightly damp skin. Massage it in circular motions, focusing on areas prone to dryness such as elbows, knees, and heels. Let the oil fully absorb before getting dressed. With regular use, your skin will feel softer and more hydrated.

Hair

For a nourishing pre-shampoo treatment, apply argan oil from the roots to the tips of your hair, massaging it into your scalp. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave it on for 30 minutes before washing. Alternatively, apply a small amount to towel-dried hair as a leave-in conditioner to reduce frizz, add shine, and protect from heat styling.

Nails

For healthier nails and cuticles, apply a drop of argan oil to each nail and gently massage it into the nail and cuticle area. For deeper hydration, soak your nails in warm water for a few minutes before applying the oil. Regular use helps strengthen nails and keep them nourished.

Safety Tips

• If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test on a small area before full use.
• Store your argan oil in a cool, dark place to maintain its quality.
• Use sparingly on hair to prevent excess oiliness.
• Discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
• With its lightweight, non-greasy formula, our argan oil is a versatile and nourishing addition to any beauty routine!

Our Cold Pressed & Deodorized Organic Argan Oil is made through a meticulous process. The oil is extracted by gently cold pressing the kernels of argan nuts, which are hand-harvested by women’s cooperatives in Morocco. This cold pressing method preserves the oil’s natural nutrients, including vitamin E, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and antioxidants.

To enhance its usability, our argan oil undergoes light deodorization, removing the natural strong scent while keeping all of its beneficial properties intact. This process ensures that the oil remains pure, rich in nutrients, and suitable for a variety of cosmetic uses.

Perform a patch test before regular use. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist. 

During the 30-day period starting from the day of purchase, consumers can return the product and receive a full refund. The 30-day right to return applies to goods bought from businesses based in the UK, whether purchased in-store, online.
