FAQs

Why is argan oil called "liquid gold"?
+

The designation reflects both the oil's golden colour and its exceptional active profile. Argan oil's combination of the highest vitamin E content of any plant oil commonly used in skincare, a uniquely beneficial fatty acid ratio, and a squalene content that enables skin affinity unlike most other oils, genuinely sets it apart from the majority of natural oils. The reputation is earned — the clinical and consumer evidence for argan oil's benefits for skin radiance, moisture retention, and hair conditioning is among the most robust available for any plant oil in the natural beauty category.

Can argan oil be used on oily or acne-prone skin?
+

Argan oil's relatively balanced oleic to linoleic fatty acid ratio and high squalene content make it better tolerated on combination and mildly oily skin than heavier, more saturated plant oils. Its non-comedogenic profile means it is less likely to clog pores than oils such as coconut or cocoa butter. However, all facial oils carry some risk on acne-prone skin, and individual response varies significantly. A patch test on the inner arm and a cautious, minimal first facial application monitored over two to three weeks is the recommended approach for those with oily or acne-prone skin before incorporating argan oil into a daily facial routine.

What is the difference between this and Amphora Sweet Almond Oil?
+

Both are pure plant oils with strong emollient and conditioning properties, but they have distinct active profiles and feel on the skin. Argan oil is lighter in texture, absorbs more quickly, and has a significantly higher vitamin E and squalene content — making it more appropriate for facial use and for those who want a fast-absorbing, antioxidant-rich facial oil. Sweet almond oil is slightly heavier, more emollient in character, and better suited to body use, massage, and as a carrier oil for essential oil blending. Both are versatile, high-quality natural oils — the choice depends on intended use and skin type preference.

Can I use argan oil in my hair every day?
+

Yes, but the amount matters. Daily use of two to three drops on the hair ends provides conditioning, frizz control, and shine without the heavy, greasy feel that over-application causes. For fine hair, daily use should be limited to a single drop on the very ends to avoid weighting the hair. For thick, coarse, or very dry hair, more frequent and more generous application is appropriate. The key is starting with minimal amounts and adjusting based on how the hair responds.

Should I apply argan oil before or after moisturiser?
+

Before — always. Oils penetrate the skin most effectively when applied directly to clean, slightly damp skin before a cream or moisturiser. Applying moisturiser first creates a barrier that limits the oil's penetration. Apply two to three drops of argan oil after cleansing and toning, allow 30 to 60 seconds to absorb, and then apply your moisturiser or SPF over it. This layering produces better results than either product alone.

How long will 25ml last?
+

With twice-daily facial use of two to three drops and occasional hair-end application, 25ml will typically last two to three months. For body use alongside facial use, the supply will be used more quickly. At this usage rate, 25ml is a practical ongoing facial oil size that provides sufficient supply to properly assess the impact on skin quality without the commitment of a larger bottle.
