100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil
A single-ingredient cold-pressed argan oil that helps reduce dryness, soften flaking skin, and add softness and sheen to hair.
A simple multi-use oil for people who want one product that can support both skin dryness and hair softness — at an extremely accessible price point for 100% cold-pressed argan.
Pure cold-pressed argan oil at this price point is almost impossible to find from a credible skincare brand. Most argan oil products are diluted or blended, heavily fragranced, or sold at 5–10x the price. This is 100% Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil with nothing added — what you see is exactly what you get.
Face: last step in the evening after moisturizer, or pressed gently over SPF in the morning as a dewy finishing oil. Hair: applied to dry or damp ends before or after styling.
Anyone with dry facial skin who also wants a hair finishing oil and doesn't want to carry two separate products. Also excellent for dry-skin people who have found squalane a little too light and want something slightly richer.
If you have acne-prone skin and apply too generously to congestion-prone areas. Argan oil is generally considered low-comedogenic, but it is still an oil — and heavy-handed application on skin prone to clogged pores can push some people toward breakouts. Use a small amount and patch test first.
Pause on the face if the skin is actively reacting — any oil on a compromised barrier can feel occlusive in an uncomfortable way. Keep using on hair safely; resume on skin once calm.
- A hyaluronic acid serum underneath to lock in water before sealing with the oil
- Applied over a ceramide moisturizer in the evening as a finishing nourishment step
- On hair alongside the NMF + HA Scalp Serum for a full scalp-to-tip care routine
Best For
- Dry skin
- Flaky skin
- Dull hair
- Dry hair ends
- Minimalist routines
- Overnight nourishment
How to Use
Apply a few drops to the face after water-based products and before or after moisturizer. For hair, smooth a small amount through dry or towel-dried lengths and ends as needed.
Key Ingredients
Argan oil softens and nourishes dry skin by replenishing the lipid barrier with skin-compatible fatty acids. Its oleic acid content penetrates the skin for deep emollience, while linoleic acid reinforces the barrier lipid structure. The natural vitamin E content adds antioxidant co-protection. On hair, it smooths the cuticle, reduces frizz, and adds shine without synthetic silicone residue.

About This Product
The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil is a one-ingredient oil — pure Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil — cold-pressed from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree. Cold-pressing preserves the oil's natural tocopherols (vitamin E), oleic acid, linoleic acid, and squalene content without heat damage or solvent extraction. As a facial oil, it softens dry or flaky skin, supports the lipid barrier, and provides antioxidant co-protection from its vitamin E content. On hair, it adds softness, reduces frizz, and imparts a natural sheen without synthetic silicone residue. Unlike other The Ordinary oils, argan is richer and slightly heavier than squalane — making it especially useful for drier skin types and very dry hair ends.
