Top 10 uses of Argan Oil and How to spot a fake

Argan oil is sometimes called liquid gold and is an ancient beauty product that has been used by moroccan women for over 700 years. Those process to extract argan oil from the small seeds is very time consuming, but worth the wait. Argan oil like many other great products has many counterfeits.

How to spot a fake.

Read the ingredients. The packaging should read 100% argan oil or 100% argania spinosa kernel oil, many companies especially from China add only 1% of the oil and claim argan oil as the main ingredient.

Another way to spot a fake is the bottle, pure argan oil is always placed in a dark glass bottle to preserve the oil and its benefits, be wary of anything claiming to be argan oil in another type of container. Light breaks down argan oils healing and restorative properties.

Argan oil is so difficult and time consuming to extract the price for a pure bottle should cost around $25 and up. There is no such thing as cheap argan oil.

Pure argan oil has a mild nutty scent, anything with a strong scent or no scent at all have been heated during production process.

100% pure argan oil should be smooth and silky absorbing into your hair and skin in minutes.

Argan oil can be used by anyone regardless of skin type.
