02Why this shop exists

Today there are two bad options.

$50 / 100 ml

The salon bottle

The famous “Moroccan” treatment is silicone-led. On its own label, argan oil is the third ingredient.

Two silicones are listed before it. Read the label.

$12 / 4 fl oz

The anonymous bottle

No producer named, no lot, no certificate. It is routinely cut with cheaper oils.

Nobody on that page can tell you who pressed it.

Neither one can tell you who pressed the oil. That is the whole reason Argana exists.

03Two products, no third

Named by hair type, because that is the only question you are asking.

One of two

Curly Hair Oil

For 3A to 4C hair, for weekly scalp oiling and daily ends. No silicones to strip out later.

Two of two

Straight Hair Oil

For fine and straight hair that wants shine without weight. Two drops, mid-length to ends.

04The press

Until now, his oil left Morocco in someone else’s bottle.

The founder trained in cosmetics in Morocco and presses this oil himself. The workshop is in Casablanca.

For years he sold it at commodity prices to intermediaries who printed their own name on it. Argana is the same oil with his name on it.

He handles the pressing, the packing and the shipping. Every layer between the press and your door has been removed, which is the entire reason 500 ml costs $49.

Certificate and lot

Every claim here comes with its paperwork. When the shop opens, the issuing body and the certificate number are printed on this page, beside the oil.

The lot number is written by hand on your bottle. It matches the one you read here.

05Duties included

Nothing is asked of you at delivery.

In August 2025 the United States suspended the $800 de minimis exemption. Since then most parcels from Morocco arrive with a customs bill and a call from the carrier.

Argana ships DDP under the US–Morocco Free Trade Agreement. The 10% duty is paid before the parcel leaves Casablanca and is already inside the price.

Your duties are included: you will not be asked for anything at delivery.
