Product Description:

Pure organic Moroccan argan oil for softer-feeling skin, smoother hair and cared-for cuticles. Virgin and cold-pressed, with a light natural aroma, this is a simple, versatile oil from a women's cooperative in southern Morocco. Nothing added, nothing taken away.

The argan oil I've stayed with for nearly 20 years

I have personally used this argan oil for approaching two decades. It has earned its place in my daily life, not just on my shop shelves.

Over the years, many customers have told me they have switched to our oil from very expensive moisturisers. Others have been buying it from me for years. That loyalty means a great deal to me. Everyone's skin is different, but I think there is something very satisfying about finding one good-quality ingredient that does the job you want it to do.

What do I look for? Authenticity, careful production and an oil that is pleasant to use. Ours spreads easily, absorbs readily and has a mild, nutty, slightly fruity aroma rather than an overpowering smell. You only need a little.

Why choose our organic argan oil?

  • One pure ingredient: virgin, cold-pressed organic argan oil, with no added perfume or other ingredients.
  • Authentic Moroccan origin: sourced from the traditional argan-growing region in southern Morocco.
  • Women's cooperative production: produced by a women-led cooperative belonging to UCFA, a union of 22 argan oil cooperatives.
  • Low natural odour: a mild aroma that makes daily use a pleasure.
  • A little goes a long way: start with a drop or two and adjust to your skin or hair.
  • Useful beyond your face: use on your neck, hands, cuticles, hair ends and beard.
  • Amber glass packaging: choose 30ml, 50ml or 100ml, with a metal cap or an optional glass pipette.

Choose your bottle

30ml: a smaller bottle if you are trying our oil for the first time or want a compact option.

50ml: a middle-sized bottle for your everyday routine.

100ml: our largest option for regular users or those using the oil for skin, hair and nails.

Every size is available with a metal cap or a glass pipette. A pipette is handy for dispensing the oil drop by drop. Choose your preferred size and closure from the options above.

One oil, several everyday uses

For your face and body

Use as a facial oil, an alternative to your usual moisturiser or a simple night-time treatment. It helps leave dry-feeling skin softer and more supple, and is easy to spread over the face, neck and hands. Start sparingly: you can always add another drop.

For your hair and beard

A drop or two smoothed through the ends helps tame the appearance of frizz and flyaway hair and adds shine. It is also useful as a beard and moustache oil, or as a pre-wash conditioning treatment for the scalp.

For your nails and cuticles

Massage a small drop into fingernails, toenails and cuticles. I like practical products that can do more than one job, and this is an easy extra use for the oil already in your bathroom.

How to use your argan oil

Skin

Warm a small amount between your palms and gently massage into your face, neck or hands once or twice daily. Start with a drop or two and use only as much as feels comfortable for your skin.

Hair ends and finishing

Rub a drop or two between your fingertips or palms and smooth through the ends or lightly over the surface of the hair. You can use it on slightly damp hair for easier distribution. Start with less than you think you need, particularly on fine hair.

Alternatively, spread a tiny amount onto the bristles of a hairbrush or the teeth of a comb and work it through your hair.

Pre-wash scalp treatment

Massage a small amount into the scalp, leave for around an hour, then wash out with your usual hair-washing routine. The original routine on this page used approximately half a teaspoon; adjust the amount to your needs. We do manufacture a specialist Hair Growth Oil if you are specifically looking for hair growth or regrowth.

Hands, nails and cuticles

Rub a drop into each hand, and into the nails and cuticles daily, particularly after washing up, bathing or swimming. Rinse any detergent from your hands before applying the oil.

Using the pipette

Squeeze and release the rubber teat while the glass tube is in the oil. Lift it out and gently squeeze to dispense drops. Avoid touching the glass tip to your skin, and screw the pipette back into the bottle after use.

Ingredients

100% pure virgin, cold-pressed organic argan oil. Nothing else is added and nothing is taken away. This is a cosmetic oil for external use.

From Morocco's argan forest to your bottle

Our oil comes from the argan-growing region of southern Morocco, within the UNESCO-protected argan forest biosphere. The trees are an important part of the landscape and the livelihoods of the people who care for them.

Ripe fruits are gathered from the trees, sun-dried and carefully prepared. The kernels are sorted before the oil is cold-pressed. Our oil is not hand-pressed, and we do not use kernels that have been eaten by goats. That care matters to the quality and light aroma I look for.

The women behind the oil

Our producer is a women-led cooperative belonging to UCFA, the Union of Women's Argan Oil Cooperatives. The women are involved in much more than supplying seeds: their work encompasses harvesting, processing and the production of the finished oil.

The existing relationship behind this oil is one of the reasons I value it so highly. Cooperative production gives the women a role in decisions about their work and pricing, while supporting skills, livelihoods and the continuing care of the argan landscape.

Our supplier's UCFA argan oil is described as certified organic and fairly traded through Ecocert. For me, choosing an oil is about its origin and the people behind it as well as how it feels on the skin.

Storage and packaging

Your oil comes in an amber glass bottle. Keep it tightly closed in a dark cupboard, away from direct sunlight and heat. Our storage recommendation is below 18°C; we do not recommend refrigeration because the oil can separate. Even amber glass lets some light through, so keep your bottle out of bright light between uses.

Use clean hands and avoid touching the bottle opening or pipette tip to your skin.

WARNING

If you have a nut allergy, consult your doctor before using argan oil. Patch test before wider use, and stop using it if irritation occurs. Avoid contact with the eyes.

This argan oil is not a sunscreen and has no stated SPF. Do not rely on it, or a homemade mixture containing it, for sun protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Argan Oil

Is this pure argan oil or a blend?

It is pure virgin, cold-pressed organic argan oil, not a blend. There are no added perfumes or other ingredients.

Where does your argan oil come from?

It comes from southern Morocco and is produced by a women-led cooperative belonging to UCFA, a union of 22 argan oil cooperatives.

Does this argan oil have a strong smell?

No. Our oil has a mild natural aroma, lightly nutty and fruity. It is low in odour, but not completely odourless, and contains no added perfume.

Can I use argan oil instead of moisturiser?

You can try it as an alternative to your usual moisturiser if it suits your skin. Many of our customers tell me they have made that switch, including from expensive creams. Start with a small amount and patch test first; individual experiences vary.

How much argan oil should I use on my face?

Start with a drop or two, warm between your palms and massage gently over your skin. Adjust the amount to how your skin feels rather than applying a large quantity at once.

Can I use the same bottle for my skin, hair and nails?

Yes. Use sparingly as a facial or body oil, smooth a little through hair ends or your beard, and massage a drop into nails and cuticles.

Will argan oil make my hair greasy?

Using too much oil can leave hair feeling oily. Start with one drop, distribute it between your hands or with our wet or dry Military Hair Brush and apply lightly to the ends. Add more only if needed.

Which sizes are available?

Choose 30ml, 50ml or 100ml. Each size is available with a metal cap or a glass pipette for drop-by-drop application.

Is this argan oil suitable for sensitive skin?

It is a single-ingredient oil with no added perfume, but that does not guarantee it will suit every skin. Patch test before wider use. If you have a skin condition or a known allergy, ask a healthcare professional for advice before trying it.

How should I store my argan oil?

Keep the bottle tightly closed, away from light and heat, ideally in a dark cupboard below 18°C. We do not recommend refrigerating it because it can separate.

Can I use argan oil as sunscreen?

No. This product has no stated SPF and should not replace sunscreen or other sun-protection measures.

How long have you personally used this oil?

I have personally used it for approaching 20 years. Many customers have also been returning to buy our oil for years, which is one of the most rewarding parts of selling it.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 98 reviews.

Just started using a few drops argan oil after washing hair with rhassoul clay and conditioning with seaweed water. So far so good - it seals and gives a lovely shine and definition to my long hair. I previously used bicarb and apple cider vinegar (still do occasionally), and the new combination feels great. Thank you, Sally, for inspiring my new hair routine!

Argan Oil, Virgin, Cold Pressed and Organic

I have been using Natural Spa Supplies Argan oil for about 15 years! I use it to oil all my skin before a shower. It is the only product I use on myself apart from a gentle hair shampoo. My skin is soft and my whole self feels cared for! A deeply felt effect.

Argan Oil, Virgin, Cold Pressed and Organic

I’ve been using your Argan oil for quite a number of years. I rub it in my face every night before bed. I know it’s making my skin look younger. I haven’t that many wrinkles! I am 73 and people say I look younger than my husband who isn’t quite 60 ! Got to be working 🤗🤗

Argan Oil, Virgin, Cold Pressed and Organic

Wonderful oil for the face. I mix it with my moisturiser each evening. It soaks in nicely and certainly doesn’t leave a greasy residue as it’s a light oil. Can recommend

Argan Oil, Virgin, Cold Pressed and Organic

My girlfriend uses this on a daily basis to moisturise her face, for the last few years. Great little present and will definitely buy again

Argan Oil, Virgin, Cold Pressed and Organic

I can't fault this Argan oil in any way. I've BEEN to Morocco TWICE, and I've been lied to ripped off as a tourist, and sold diluted argan oil which I could tell had been messed around with (when I tried to use it), because it was full of some cheap and nasty greasy additive, and looked weirdly shiny (like varnish) and it never smelled right or looked right (in spite of being obtained from multiple different sources there - BUT NOT THIS ARGAN OIL (FROM NATURAL SPA SUPPLIES, right here in England!!). This is the REAL DEAL, is pure, clean, unadulterated and works as it should, and that's why I keep on buying it as and when it runs out. Sally sells nothing but the very best.

Argan Oil, Virgin, Cold Pressed and Organic

I like this oil, it is light and easy to apply, goes a long way and I think skin is looking better already after just a few uses, smoother and softer.
