Argan oil has been shown to naturally contain the following beneficial ingredients:
  • Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
    Antioxidant, free radical scavenger, improves skin's water-binding ability, boosts the effectiveness of your sunscreen, and heals dry, damaged skin. Argan oil contains 200-300% more Vitamin E than olive oil.
  • Essential Fatty Acids
    Includes high levels of fatty acids which are essential to the health of your cellular membranes – keeping the skin firm and elastic while improving moisture retention.
  • Oleic and Linoleic Acids
    Critical in the formation of prostaglandin, which acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and healing agent.
  • Natural Antioxidants
    Protect your skin from environmental factors like chemicals, pollution, and sun damage – preventing free radical damage and giving your skin that hard-to-achieve "glow."
  • Squalene
    Naturally produced by your skin, it functions like Vitamin E as an important antioxidant, reducing signs of aging. Also has many wound healing and antibacterial properties, excellent for eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
  • Polyphenols
    Fight sun damage and photoaging with UV protection. Promote skin repair with anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, and free-radical fighting properties.
  • Ferulic Acid
    A very rare antioxidant that's highly valued as it actually becomes MORE potent when exposed to sunlight.
  • Sterols
    Help prevent skin aging by promoting moisture retention as well as optimizing the function of the skin barrier.
  • D-7 Stigmasterol
    Very rare and highly regarded for treating skin diseases and healing wounds and compromised skin tissue.
  • Triterpene Alcohols
    Recent studies show topical application may offer potent anti-inflammatory benefits, making them effective for speeding healing of a variety of skin conditions.

How To Use:

Pump a tiny drop in the palm of your hand or fingertips, rub hands together for even distribution and massage into face, hands, hair or body. (preferably gently massging in circular motions) The skin should not feel oily after application, if it does, then you have used too much.

So Many More Uses:

- As your daily moisturizer (it can be applied before makeup)
-Apply to split ends of your hair
-To condition cuticles
-As a body moisturizer
-For soothing rough patches of skin on elbows, knees and feet
-As a bath oil

I purchased a 30ml bottle from Mad Minerals for US$10 several months ago and has been using it mainly for the hair and ocassionally for the body. Less is more, and it took me some time to correct the quantity needed for my hair length, as initially, I used too much and my hair turned greasy by end of the day.

The argan oil comes in an opaque bottle with a pump dispenser that will spritz out the oil contents in a messy way. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it requires several depressions.

Argan Oil conditions my hair well and made it healthier and shinier. My hair is in a relatively healthier condition compared to before, due to my daily hair maintenance so I cannot comment on the split ends condition as I no longer have that since I trimmed off all the damaged tresses ends.
This argan oil is not the main contributing factor to my healthier hair condition as I uses other hair products in rotation, depending on the day's event and the state of my hair, however it does contributes to the overall hair health.

I have not use it on the face though, because I like to keep my hair and skin products separately and since I started using it for the hair, I keep it reserved for that.

For the body, it gives off a slight sheen on the skin after application and I only use it twice so far so I cannot comment on its efficacy.
