That’s where Trader Joe’s 100% Organic Argan Oil comes in. Priced at $6.99, this little bottle promises the same multi-tasking magic at a fraction of the cost of its name-brand counterparts.

Review
Let’s start with what’s inside: just one ingredient, organic argan oil. That’s it. No fillers, no added fragrance, no questionable extras. And that’s exactly what I want in a product like this.
The packaging is a small amber glass bottle with a pump dispenser, which is surprisingly convenient. It dispenses just the right amount without waste, and the dark glass helps protect the oil from light degradation—especially important if you're keeping it in your bathroom.
I’ve used this oil on my face, hair, cuticles, and even dry patches on my elbows. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a greasy finish if you use it sparingly. On my face, it gives a dewy look without clogging pores. For hair, I’ve used it both as a pre-shampoo treatment and a mid-length finisher to tame frizz and add shine.
What I love most is how versatile and clean it is. You’re getting the same type of product you’d pay three or four times more for at a beauty retailer—but with the classic Trader Joe’s value spin.
It’s not scented, which makes it great for those with sensitive skin or noses. And while it’s not packaged like a luxury item, it works like one. A few drops go a long way, so even though the bottle is small, it lasts.

For $7 that is a steal especially it's organic and 100% pure. Great gift idea too.

Hey Alek! Yes $7 is a great price for this especially compared to how much it goes for elsewhere. No fancy packaging, but at the end of the day that all goes in the garbage. Thanks as always for stopping by!

I love TJ’s argan oil. I’ve been using it every night without any additional moisturizer and it’s gives me the hydration that I need. I’m 63 years old and my skin feels great after using this. I see that one of the cons is the package because of “no frills”. Seriously? I’m not buying it for the package. That goes in the garbage as soon as I take the bottle out. It’s 100% pure, cold pressed and comes from Morracco. Those are the 3 things to look for when purchase argan oil.

So glad to hear that this product holds up to the more pricier versions out there. I have gotten samples of Josie Maran's and liked it but it certainly not worth the price tag of a full-size item. I will definitely have to put this on my next Trader Joe's shopping list.

Hey Dag! Would love to hear your thoughts on it when you get a chance to try it.
