Argan Oil 1.69 fl oz (50 ml)
$24.00
Argania Spinosa - Repairing Indigionous to the Moroccan forest, the Argan tree kernals have been harvested for centuries for their many "miraculous" benefits. Rich in vitamin E and Omega 6s this oil is ideal in protecting skin and hair from premature aging, UV exposure, and other environmental factors. A true regenerator, Argan oil is often used as a moisturizer for dry skin and as a smoother in damaged hair. A real 'beauty secret' for Berber women, the oil is made from un-roasted argan kernels; it is also traditionally used for massaging joints and for nail and hair care. Fair Trade: Oil is cold-pressed extracted from raw hand-crushed kernals. Processing is done through an Aunarha women's co-operative in Essaouira. Melvita complies with all ethical criteria for fair trade: fair prices when purchasing raw materials, preservation of biodeversity in the environment, as well as responsible farming.

Comments about Melvita Argan Oil, 1.69 fl oz:
This is a fraction of the price of other brands, and it's easy to compare since there's only one ingredient. I use it for my nails, elbows, neck, sometimes around my eye area and mouth, etc. I also add a few drops to other products to boost the hydration. It's not particularly oily and absorbs pretty quickly.
Pros
Cons
- Doesn't Absorb Well
- Drying
- Extremely Ineffective
- Greasy
- Heavy
- Offesive Oder Lingers
- Poorly Designed Bottle
- Pump Does Not Work Well

Comments about Melvita Argan Oil, 1.69 fl oz:
Having tried other brands of pure argan oil with great results, Melvita's EXTREMELY FOUL smelling argan oil does not have a single pro to speak of. Had to return immediately. I strongly recommend trying another brand of organic, first-pressed, women's co-op benefiting 100% pure argan oil.

Comments about Melvita Argan Oil, 1.69 fl oz:
I'd heard about argan oil as a "miracle" product for the complexion in high end beauty products. After a quick search, I found Melvita oil to be the best deal (concentration of oil for the price). I started using it on my face at bedtime and I love it. It's helped soothe some patches of eczema and reduced redness, it's an amazing moisturizer. I've started adding a drop of the oil to my body lotion, to prevent dry "Winter" skin.
Pros
- Goes On Smoothly
- Moisturizes Well
- Softens Skin
Cons
- Too Greasy or Heavy
Best Uses
- Bedtime
- Dry/Chapped Skin
- Winter Dryness
Comments about Melvita Argan Oil, 1.69 fl oz:
I've used this on my hair, when the ends were dry, and on my skin by my eyes. I can't use on my cheeks chin as I had a really bad breakout a few years ago using a cleansing oil and now I'm afraid to put any oil on my cheeks/chin.
I personally have to be very sparing with it- if I put too much in my hair it weighs it down and makes it feel greasy, so I'll only use a little on the very ends.
Same goes with my skin. I'll put it on at night around my eyes, on my lips and on my neck, and I wake up the next morning with those areas nicely soft.
The oil is great, I just wish I could use it all over my face.
Pros
- Absorbs Quickly
- Goes On Smoothly
- Moisturizes Well
- Not Greasy
Cons
Best Uses

- Moisturizer for dry hair

- Not Greasy
- Softens Skin
Cons
Best Uses
- After Shower/Bath
- Bedtime
- Dry/Chapped Skin
Comments about Melvita Argan Oil, 1.69 fl oz:
After hearing about the great moisturizing properties of Argan, I decided to give it a try and so far, i really like it! One of the best attributes is that it does absorb quickly and does not leave a greasy residue behind. It does not have a heavy scent (neutral, if that makes sense) I would recommend this product for anyone who is looking for an organic, fair-trade beauty product.
Pros
- Goes On Smoothly
- Moisturizes Well
- Not Greasy
- Softens Skin
Cons
Best Uses
- After Shower/Bath
- Bedtime
