Argan Oil Uses Guide: What It’s Known For and How to Use It
(With Our Product Picks)
Argan oil is a golden, single-ingredient oil traditionally produced from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), native to Morocco.
It’s best known as a skin and hair oil, but it’s also a brilliant all-rounder for nails, cuticles, rough patches and more.
Below is a practical guide to the most well-known cosmetic uses for argan oil, with simple steps for how to use it for each one and which of our products best fits the job.
