It is rich in vitamin E, carotenes, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, is used for massage, facials and as an ingredient in anti-aging cream and even aftershave lotion for men. Argan Oil can also be used to nourish the hair making it shiny and healthy looking.

Consistency: Typical and Characteristic of Carrier Oils.

Absorption: Absorbs into skin at average speed, slight oil feeling left on skin.

Literally the best argan oil I have ever purchased.

I bought Argan oil and Abyssinian oil at the same time. Best price I’ve found anywhere as well as best quality! I got them to use for when I have customers that have nut allergies. I love both!!

This is a very special product! Transferring from Northern USA to the South, my naturally wavy hair went crazy -- you know, the finger-in-the-light-socket look. Some time & a little of this Argan oil on the ends (very very little!!) fixed that. I also use it under my eyes & on my face at night, to overcome dry skin. Finally, mixed with some South African Lavender & Sweet Marjorum, it quickly healed some "mystery eruptions" on the skin of my legs & upper arms. It does have a light smell, but I love it, & it goes away quickly anyway. Wouldn't be without it!

It was great to find just "argan" oil. All of the argan oil products on the market have additional ingredients and a small amount of argan oil. It's excellent for hair and skin as others have reported. Personally I don't have any problem with the aroma; actually find it pleasant and natural. This will be a staple in my oil supplies.

I just got this like 2 weeks ago and have been using it on my face after bath. LOVE IT. I can already feel younger looking skin and OMG! it seems like a miracle. I also used it on my hair and have to say that since then my hair have been shedding a LOT less. I got the 16oz size and am sure it will last a long time but when it finishes I will be back and next time plan to order the organic one. LOVE the quality and the price. Thx NDA! I hope they don't ever increase the price of this oil or change the quality either.

This argan oil is great for hair care products. I use in my conditioners, and also recently included in my CP soaps with a great result. I just bought a sample size but will buy a larger quantity next time-very versatile. It does have a strange smell, kind of sweet, but it is easily disguised with EOs.

New Directions agan oil is simply the best! A great addition to any hair products for smooth, silky tresses. In addition, I use a few drops on my face and neck after cleansing and it absorbs quickly and leaves my face well moisturized and matte, no oily feel at all. I can't recommend this product enough!

After reading hype about this oil from other sites, I thought I'd try this oil out. I've been using it on my face with black current seed oil for a few weeks now and it has made a huge difference in my skin. My usual redness is gone, my skin looks 'perky' and I don't even feel the need for foundation. I'm done with commercial moisturizers. I also use it on my hands and nails and have seen a marked improvement in cuticles and dry skin. I also gave my shorter hair an oil treatment and added a bit to a homemade shampoo that has left my hair feeling soft and healthy. No conditioner needed. I didn't notice any significant scent from this oil. I'm really happy I bought this oil and that I found NDA!

Argan oil is just wonderful for mature drier skin. I have been using Argan oil on my face for 3 months or so. Within 3 weeks of the onset I noticed a huge difference in the creases on my face. They were becoming less and the skin was 'plumping' up nicely. A very good oil to use. After appling to my face I smooth the left over that is on my hands through my hair. It is wonderful. I will definately keep using Argan oil.

I received my first order from New Directions and am very pleased with everything I have tried. I could hardly wait to smell the argan oil, with the reviews below stating the overwhelming scent. I am confused by that.... since there was no noticable scent at all with my two bottles of argan oil. I just started using it and will update more later... but, I wanted to say that I am perfectly happy with this product.

I don't really notice the scent of the Argan Oil. I just know that it feels good on my skin and it has worked wonders. I use it in soaping for shampoo bars because argan oil is extremely well known for treating hair. Love this.

I received my order of Argan Carrier Oil in the mail today. The labeling did not have any ingredients, warnings, or suggested uses printed anywhere so I could not be sure that the product I got was pure. When I opened the bottle, my first thoughts were, "OH MY"! The word "revolting" is an understatement for the way this stuff smells! I'm not used to argan oil having a smell at all, let alone one as nauseating as this. It must be a lower quality oil or mixed with something I was afraid to put this oil on my skin but I figured since I paid for it I might as well try it. The way this oil absorbed into my skin was okay. My skin did feel a bit coated upon the first application, although it didn't feel that way for long. My first impression: It does absorb and leaves a nice smooth feeling to your skin. I cannot, however, see myself buying this product again BECAUSE of the smell. I'm not even sure how I will be able to get through the bottle. This product is not for me.

New Directions Aromatics Response:

Please be assured all of our essential and carrier oils are 100% pure and unadulterated. We do NOT cut or alter our oils in any way whatsoever. This is absolutely unethical and we would not be in business for over 15 years if we conducted business in such a way. We do not put anything regarding this on the labels because we have space limitations when it comes to what information we can fit on them.

In terms of the Argan oil, yes it does have a specific smell that may not be pleasing to some but like with many oils you have to weigh the therapeutic benefits versus the scent and decide for your self if the oil is suitable for you.

This oil is very nice in hair conditioners and you really can't beat the price. You don't need a lot to get great results which i love. It also gives a really nice shine to hair especially when added to hot oil treatments. The smell is not the easiest on the nose but again you really don't need a lot and can be masked well with EOs.

This oil feels great on your skin, but I was not prepared for the revolting smell. Really turned my stomach. I have never smelled an oil that smelled this bad before. I added ginger, lemon tea tree, and rosewood e.o. to cover up, but I had to use a lot. Unless I experience miracles with my skin, I will not order this again.

I really wanted to love this oil after hearing so much about the antioxidant levels. it has a stronger odor than I like and it changes the scent of the essential oils i mix with it. I end up having to put more essential oils into it than I'd like to which is causing me to run out of my oils quickly. I won't purchase this again.

I\'m using Argan as both a leave in hair conditioner and in my facial oils. I\'ve got mature skin and adding that to light oils that sink in along with carrot seed and so far I like what I\'m seeing and love the fact my face isn\'t oily. I\'ll be using this in body oils for more mature skin. Argan is also good for acne prone skin as well. I have a trick I use which is the scrubby pads using the oil alone and then a microdermabrasion cloth in warm water to remove the acess after a bit......my skin is clean and now my mind is really in high gear for the \'perfect oil\' for skin AND hair. I do like dual products.

i started using this oil on my face and neck about a month ago, i mix a small amount with my regular cream in the a.m and my make up stays perfectly. my skin just drinks this up. at night i put a generous amount as a last step to my routine, either over retinol moisturizer or aha moisturizer, i alternate nights w\these. i have noticed a definite increase in the plumpness of my skin, i started noticing the difference after about a week of consistant use. i have also been using baobab oil around my eyes and on my lips. i feel that adding these products has improved the moisture level of my skin like nothing else. i am 37 and have minimal wrinkles, but my skin is very dry, and nothing ever lasts the course of the day & if i put something heavy on, my makeup doesnt hold, which looks just as bad as dehydrated\tired skin. in summary, my skin looks and feels plump and hydrated, not oily or greasy. my eye bags are less noticible because that area has plumped up too. people have been asking what im doing, that tells me that the difference is obvious to others as well. i hope to see continued improvement, but am happy if these results remain.

I love this stuff. I've put it in shampoo and conditioner, and added it to a spray oil that I use (along with tea tree chinese EO and evening primrose CO) to treat my psoriasis condition. It leaves skin and hair both feeling conditioned. Best of all, however, I have added it to my usual silicone-based hair styling product (two drops) and my hair looks amazing after blowdrying. It is an unbelievable difference I determined that I had to try this because a friend of mine is addicted to moroccanoil products - upon investigation, I learned that this product line is, essentially, a number of silicone based styling products with a little argan oil added in. (Moroccanoil costs the moon). I am glad that I tried this. This is an amazing addition to my personal regimen. For people interested in commercial applications, this would be a great addition to natural hair care products, and argan oil is so trendy now. You can't beat the price either. Will definitely recommend this product to others. As always, pleased with the service I received from NDA. Thanks!
