Inspect the Ingredients and Bottle

Ensure that the ingredient list is short and only contains 100% argan oil or 100% argania spinosa kernel oil. If there are other ingredients on the list, it's argan oil that has been diluted.

Check the Price

Don't be fooled by a bargain. Extracting argan oil is a laborious process, and that labor does not come free. If you're buying argan oil for culinary purposes, it is usually sold at a lower price. If buying argan oil for your hair, skin or nails, look for raw cosmetic grade that is usually higher in price.

Pay Attention to the Scent

- Culinary uses has sweet, fragrant smell

- Intended for cosmetics has a nutty smell: lighter or stronger

- Avoid argan oil with a strong, offensive odor, as it most likely has gone rancid, and avoid argan oil that has no scent as it could be heavily diluted.
