Understanding Argan Oil

Argan oil is a nourishing botanical oil traditionally pressed from the kernels of the argan tree. It’s widely used in clean beauty routines because it helps comfort dry, tight-feeling skin and supports a smoother, more supple-looking complexion without feeling overly heavy.

Unlike essential oils (which are usually aromatic and used in very small amounts), argan oil is a carrier oil meaning it’s intended to be used as a proper skincare step (a few drops) to help soften, support the skin barrier, and lock in moisture.

Argan oil is naturally known for:

  • Essential fatty acids (help moisturise and support the skin barrier)
  • Vitamin E (antioxidant support for healthier-looking skin)
  • A soft, radiant finish, making it suitable for both morning and evening routines

For people building a simple routine, argan oil often acts as a β€œcomfort layer” the step that helps reduce the look of dryness, improves the feel of tight skin, and supports a healthy-looking glow over time.

What Argan Oil Helps With

Argan oil is most often chosen for nourishment and glow. It helps skin feel more comfortable and look more radiant, especially when skin is dry, dull, or easily stressed.

  • Softness + smoother-looking texture – Helps soften dry patches and supports a smoother-looking finish over time.
  • Barrier comfort (less tightness, more calm) – Supports the skin’s moisture barrier, helping skin feel less tight and more comfortable.
  • Visible radiance – Adds a healthy-looking glow and can help skin look fresher and more luminous.
  • A supportive step for mature-looking skin – Nourishes and supports suppleness, helping dryness look less emphasised.

When to use Argan Oil

Argan oil is a flexible step to reach for whenever your skin needs extra comfort, long-lasting hydration, or a healthier-looking glow. It’s especially useful when skin feels dry or tight, looks dull, or feels out of balance due to seasonal changes, travel, or over-cleansing. Many people prefer using it in the evening to support overnight softness, but it can also be used in the morning in a small amount for a smoother finish under moisturiser and SPF. If your skin is combination or blemish-prone, start slowly (a few evenings per week), use 1–2 drops, and keep the rest of your routine simple. Explore suitable options in Face Oils & Serums, or shop by skin needs such as Dry Skin,Mature Skin, or Sensitive Skin.

How to use Argan Oil

For best results, apply argan oil after cleansing and any watery steps, then layer it with moisturiser depending on how rich you want the finish. Start by cleansing with something from Cleansers, then follow with a hydrating mist or toner from Toners & Mists. If you use a treatment step, apply it next (browse Serums), then press 2–3 drops of argan oil into the skin, focusing on areas that feel dry or tight. You can apply the oil before moisturiser for a lighter feel, or after moisturiser to help seal everything in overnight. In the morning, use a smaller amount and always finish with daily protection from Sunscreen. If you’re ready to shop, start with Undaria Argan Oil, or try Supercritical Omega 3 Chia Face Oil if you want an oil blend option.
