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

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

This lightweight, cold-pressed argan oil from The Ordinary is a multipurpose, organic treatment harvested and bottled without refinement so it retains its natural scent and nutrient profile. Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, it can be used as part of a daily skin routine or applied to damp hair to smooth frizz and boost luster. The formulation is simple — pure argan oil — intended for topical cosmetic use; always patch test and avoid applying to broken skin.

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

Use a few drops of The Ordinary Argan Oil as the final step in your evening skincare or after serums to seal in moisture. Its emollient texture helps reduce surface dryness and gives skin a soft, nourished finish without layering complex actives on top.

• Apply 2–4 drops to palms, warm briefly, and press into face and neck.
• Use after water-based serums or hydrators to lock in moisture.
• Start with a patch test on the inner wrist to check for sensitivity.
• Avoid broken or irritated skin and contact with eyes.

Can I use this oil on my hair, and how does it perform?

Yes — a small amount of The Ordinary Argan Oil can improve manageability and shine when worked through damp or dry hair. It helps smooth flyaways and adds visible luster without weighing hair heavily when used sparingly.

• Distribute 1–2 drops through towel-dried mid-lengths and ends.
• For thicker hair, warm oil between hands and use slightly more as needed.
• Apply to ends only if your roots tend to get greasy.
• Can be used as a finishing shine boost on dry hair.

What makes this argan oil different from refined versions?

The Ordinary’s product is cold-pressed and unrefined, meaning it keeps more of the oil’s natural aroma and nutrient profile compared with refined alternatives. Because it’s organic and minimally processed, the oil retains fatty acids and vitamins that contribute to its emollient and conditioning properties.

• Cold-pressed extraction preserves natural compounds and scent.
• Unrefined texture may vary slightly in color or aroma batch-to-batch.
• 100% single-ingredient formulation — no added fragrances or preservatives.
• Organic certification indicates farming practices without synthetic inputs.

How should I store this oil and how long will it last?

Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve freshness. Like all unrefined botanical oils, its shelf life depends on storage conditions; proper care helps maintain its quality and fragrance longer.

• Keep tightly capped and away from heat sources.
• Use within the manufacturer’s recommended period after opening.
• If the scent or color changes markedly, discontinue use.
• Smaller bottles (1 fl oz) are convenient for travel and frequent use.

Who is this for: The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil is suited for people seeking a single-ingredient, multipurpose emollient to address surface dryness, soften hair ends, or add a natural finish to skin and hair routines. It’s ideal for those who prefer organic, minimally processed products and want a lightweight oil to layer over moisturizers or to tame frizz. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, use sparingly and patch test first to assess compatibility.
