How to know if your argan oil is pure and of high quality

Argan oil is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of the argan tree native to Morocco. Rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, argan oil is mostly used in skin care as an anti-aging product. However, there are hundreds of argan oil products on the market that do not meet the best standards, which is why we will help you recognize quality argan oil.

Characteristics of cold-pressed argan oil

First of all, quality cosmetic argan oil should be golden yellow, translucent, and shiny, but of a light tone. It has a soft aroma of argan seed that disperses shortly after use. This is very important to differentiate it, because many brands pass the oil through a vaporization process that eliminates the smell and degrades the properties of the oil, making the product result in a pale golden color very similar to almond oil. 

On the other hand, pure argan oil should be smooth and silky, it should not leave any greasy feeling on your skin Another aspect to consider is that the ingredient list should be very short, it should only say 100% argan oil or argania spinosa, its Latin name. Finally, we need to make sure that the packaging or box it comes in is dark, since light breaks down the best properties of the oil. 

Difference between OmmBIO® ARGAN and other oils

Our product OmmBIO® ARGAN It is 100% pure, organic, and ecological. The oil extraction is done in the first cold pressing to preserve its properties. In addition, it is manufactured in Morocco during controlled and certified organic farming processes.  

This allows OmmBIO to differentiate itself from many products on the market that sell argan oil, also pressed by a machine but using incredible amounts of heat that damage the oil and although it is not dangerous, it decreases its effectiveness. 

On the other hand, there are some products that are indeed dangerous to use, because they use chemical solvents to extract the oil from the grains inside. Solvents help producers achieve a higher yield from seeds and therefore better prices, but in return, they endanger consumers. The most popular solvent in argan production is hexane, which is a chemical derived from crude oil that is used to make glue and paint. Ingesting or inhaling it usually causes nausea, dizziness, and irritation in the lungs and intestines. Unfortunately, hexane can remain in beauty products after manufacturing, so we strongly recommend that you avoid purchasing any product in which hexane has been present.

Benefits of 100% pure and cold-pressed argan oil

Since argan oil has gained popularity, many products have appeared online claiming to be pure argan oil, but since it is so slow to produce and its price is so high, many have decided to excessively dilute it, reducing most of its properties. 

Our oil OmmBIO® ARGAN 100% Pure, Organic and Ecological is certified by ECOCERT, which has many benefits such as preventing the appearance of wrinkles, reduce expression lines, helps to repair and hydrate the skin, reduces scars and accelerates skin recovery.
