The Ordinary Argan Oil 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil, 1 fl oz — Unrefined Hydrating Face & Hair Treatment

The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil is a pure, unrefined oil formulated to hydrate skin and add softness and shine to hair.

This single-ingredient argan oil is cold-pressed and certified organic, preserving naturally occurring fatty acids and vitamins. It’s presented unrefined so the scent and color remain as in nature; the product is designed as a multi-purpose treatment to be used sparingly on face, body, and hair. Because it’s concentrated, a few drops per application are typically enough.

How should I use this argan oil in my daily skin routine?

Use a few drops after water-based serums and before or in place of a heavier cream. Warm the oil in your palms and press it gently into dry areas, focusing on cheeks, elbows, or wherever you need extra hydration. Start with a small amount and increase only if your skin absorbs it well.

• Apply 2–3 drops to damp skin to lock in moisture.
• Pat gently rather than rubbing to avoid disturbing active serums beneath.
• Patch test on forearm before facial use, especially for sensitive skin.

Can this oil improve my hair’s texture and appearance?

The Ordinary argan oil can be used as a finishing or conditioning oil to smooth frizz and enhance shine. Work a tiny amount through mid-lengths to ends of damp or dry hair, focusing on areas that look dull or brittle. Avoid the roots if your scalp gets oily.

• Distribute 1–2 drops for short hair, more for longer hair as needed.
• Use on damp hair to help seal cuticles and reduce frizz.
• Apply before styling to add shine without heavy buildup.

What makes cold-pressed, unrefined argan oil different from refined oils?

Cold-pressing preserves natural fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that can diminish with heat or heavy processing. Unrefined oil keeps its original scent and color, offering a more natural profile. That means aroma alone is not a reliable freshness gauge; proper storage matters more.

• Cold-pressed: minimal heat used, nutrients retained.
• Unrefined: natural scent and color preserved, no additives.
• Store in a cool, dark place to extend shelf life.

How do I know if the oil is still good to use?

Because this oil is unrefined, its scent and tone can vary; however, signs of rancidity include a sharp, off-putting odor or sticky, tacky texture. Always check the bottle before use and perform a small patch test if unsure. Keep the cap closed and avoid introducing water into the bottle.

• Check for a strong sour or metallic smell as a spoilage sign.
• Store upright in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
• Use within recommended period after opening, per brand guidance.

Who is this for: The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil suits anyone looking for a single-ingredient, versatile oil to add hydration and manageability to skin and hair. It works well for dry or combination skin types seeking extra moisture without complex formulations, and for hair users who want a natural shine-boosting finish. Avoid use on broken or irritated skin and always patch test prior to regular application.
