FAQ's: Argan Oil

Q: I found some really inexpensive Argan oil, is it the real deal?

If you were purchasing it in bulk directly from the women’s co-op I would say yes, otherwise the answer is no. Moroccan Argan oil goes by European standards for certification in authenticity. Also check to see if it is deodorized.

Q: Why do you deodorize your Argan oil?

Many people find the natural “nutty” odor of Argan oil unappealing, and too overbearing for skin care use. We deodorize our Argan oil for our customers’ satisfaction.
