How to Use Argan Oil
What is Argan Oil?
Argan oil, often hailed as 'liquid gold,' is a precious, nutrient-rich oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), native to Morocco. Esteemed for its versatility, this oil is a powerhouse of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamin E, making it a revered choice for skincare, haircare, and culinary uses. Its unique properties offer hydration, nourishment, and protection, catering to a myriad of beauty and health needs.
Incorporating Argan Oil into Your Skincare Routine
- Moisturizing: After cleansing, warm a few drops of argan oil between your palms and gently press it onto your face and neck. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving the skin soft, hydrated, and radiant without a greasy residue.
- Anti-Aging Treatment: Argan oil's potent antioxidant content makes it an excellent anti-aging product. Apply it under your night cream to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and to improve skin elasticity.
- Acne and Oil Control: Despite being an oil, argan oil can help balance your skin's natural oil production. Its anti-sebum effect makes it beneficial for acne-prone skin, reducing breakouts and promoting a clearer complexion.
Using Argan Oil for Hair Care
- Conditioning and Styling: Argan oil can be used as a leave-in conditioner to tame frizz, add shine, and protect hair from heat damage. Apply a few drops to the ends of damp or dry hair to smooth and style.
- Deep Conditioning Treatment: For deep hydration, massage a generous amount of argan oil into your scalp and hair. Wrap your hair in a warm towel and leave it for 30 minutes or overnight before washing. This treatment revitalizes dry, damaged hair, leaving it silky and manageable.

Argan Oil for Body Care
- Hydration: Apply argan oil directly to your body after bathing to lock in moisture. Its fast-absorbing properties ensure that your skin is left feeling soft and supple without any oily residue.
- Nail and Cuticle Care: Nourish and strengthen your nails by massaging argan oil into your cuticles and nails. Its moisturizing benefits help prevent cracking and peeling, promoting healthy nail growth.
Culinary Uses of Argan Oil
- Enhancing Flavors: With its nutty flavor, culinary-grade argan oil can be drizzled over salads, couscous, and grilled vegetables, adding a unique taste and a boost of nutrition to your dishes.
- Health Benefits: Consuming argan oil can offer health benefits, including improved heart health and antioxidant protection. However, ensure you're using food-grade argan oil specifically meant for culinary purposes.
Hand and Nail Care
Apply a few drops of Argan Oil to your hands and cuticles, particularly at night. This practice not only fortifies fragile or brittle nails but also maintains the softness and youthful appearance of your hands.
Shaving Routine
Gently massage a bit of Argan Oil into your clean skin before shaving. Use a fresh blade for the shave, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat the area dry with a soft towel. Afterwards, apply a small quantity of the oil to the shaved region and let it air dry for a soothing effect.
Common Questions about Argan Oil Usage
Should Argan Oil be applied to wet or dry hair?
Argan Oil can be applied to both wet and dry hair. Applying it to wet hair aids in detangling and adds moisture, while using it on dry hair helps to smooth frizz and enhance shine.

2.1 oz. (60 g)
Our bars are created with Sodium Coco Sulfate, a lathering agent that makes the shampoo sudsy. It is milder than Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate because it is derived from coconuts, not petroleum. Environmental Working Group's (EWG) certification for surfactants, Sodium Coco Sulfate, is rated a "1," the highest safety rating. Your hair is getting the best of both worlds because it effectively dissolves dirt and grease, but more gently, it is safe for colored hair, and you still get the sudsy lather we are all accustomed to. This helps the transition period from liquid to bar seamless.
How to Use
How to Use
Utilizing an argan shampoo bar comes with a straightforward yet effective method: either directly apply the damp bar onto your hair or create a lather in your palms first. Then, with care, work the shampoo bar through your scalp and hair, mimicking the application process of traditional liquid shampoos.
Each argan oil shampoo bar is meticulously encased in a bamboo holder for its protection during transit. It's crucial to remember, however, that this bamboo holder is not designed to serve as a soap dish. For the preservation and extended use of your shampoo bar, investing in an appropriate soap dish is vital. An ideal soap dish should raise the bar off its surface, allowing for proper air circulation and the draining away of any residual water. By adopting this practice, you can significantly enhance the durability of your argan oil shampoo bar, with it lasting anywhere between four to six months.
