HOW TO KNOW IF YOU’RE
BUYING PURE ARGAN OIL
Pure argan oil is considerably pricey due to the difficulty in obtaining and extracting the oil. Many producers who sell the oil dilute it to make it cheaper.
If you're willing to spend the extra money, 100% pure argan oil could be beneficial in your kitchen and cosmetic cabinet. Learn what to look for in the ingredient list, color, packaging and price to ensure you're buying pure argan
oil.
100% Pure Argan is Beneficial
Inspect the Ingredients and Bottle
Ensure that the ingredient list is short and only contains 100% argan oil or 100% argania spinosa kernel oil. If there are other ingredients on the list, it's argan oil that has been diluted.
Check the Price
Don't be fooled by a bargain. Extracting argan oil is a laborious process, and that labor does not come free. If you're buying argan oil for culinary purposes, it is usually sold at a lower price. If buying argan oil for your hair, skin or nails, look for raw cosmetic grade that is usually higher in price.
Pay Attention to the Scent
- Culinary uses has sweet, fragrant smell
- Intended for cosmetics has a nutty smell: lighter or stronger
- Avoid argan oil with a strong, offensive odor, as it most likely has gone rancid, and avoid argan oil that has no scent as it could be heavily diluted.
Inspect the Texture
Pure argan oil appears very clear. It has a smooth, silky texture that disappears on your skin. It should not feel watery, sticky or clammy.
