Essentially, it is the same exact thing. Moroccan Oil is just another name for Argan Oil. This “liquid gold” as it is often called is a beauty secret of Moroccan women. Or it was.
The Argan trees grow in Southwest Morocco. On these trees is a small fruit and inside this fruit is the Argan seed. The seed is cold pressed to release the oil. And Voila! The fruits grow twice a year and the seeds are pressed by hand.
Now I'm sure you have seen in your local salons the Moroccan Oil brand. I've decided to compare the ingredients of the Moroccan Oil compared to the DermOrganic Argan Oil. I'll tell you right now, I like that the Argan oil is certified 100% organic. So.....DermoOrganic – 1, Moroccan Oil – 0.
Moroccan Oil Ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Butylphenyl, MethylPropional, Argania Spinoza Kernal Oil (Argan Oil), Linseed (Linum Usitatissimum) Extract, Fragrance Supplement, D&C Yellow-11, D&C Red-17, Coumarin, Benzyl Benzoate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
DermOrganic Argan Oil Ingredients:
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Argan Oil, Grapeseed Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) Glycereth-2 Cocoate/Benzoic Acid (Natural Preservative), Fragrance.
As you can see, the basic ingredients are the same in both products. However, DermOrganic has far less ingredient with the Argan Oil being the third where the Moroccan Oil has it listed as the 6th. I know which one I'm choosing.
You can not purchase the DermOrganic Argan Oil from the website but click HERE for a list of distributors by state. The cheapest price I found is at Discount Beauty Center: 4 oz. At $16.99.
The same goes for Moroccan Oil. This can be purchased at salons. If this is your choice, you can find a salon near you by clicking HERE. As for price, Sleekhair.com is selling 0.85 oz. travel size for $13.99. The 3.4 oz. is on sale for $36.99 as I type this blog.

ReplyDeleteWouldn't the third listed ingredient be a higher quantity than the sixth listed ingredient?
ReplyDeleteThey are both listed third on my bottles. I believe one is just as good as the other, so choose the one you prefer.
