Was in TJ's today and they had Argan Magic 100% Pure Argan Oil. It was $9.00. I bought it. I have JM Argan but it costs so much more and frankly, I don't want to keep paying that price for oil I can get a lot less.

Any thoughts on this. JM states her's is pure. This says the same thing. I figured I can use it on my legs, arms and feet without breaking the bank.

look for "cold-pressed", just because it is usda certified, 100% organic, 100% natural, etc does NOT mean it has all of the nutrients and benefits of a cold-pressed argan oil. if it is not cold-pressed that means the oil is heated therefore losing many nutrients! plus a lot of companies buy it from suppliers that push out a ton of argan oil that isn't the same as a cold-pressed company. also, buying the 100% pure argan oil from JM creates fair-wage jobs to women in Moroccan co-ops, which also helps preserve argan forests. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

I can certainly understand wanting to pay less for argan oil. When I first saw Josie's sales pitch I was the world's biggest skeptic. I tried two health food store brands and was not enamored with their scent nor their thickness. I finally caved and tried JM and have been hooked ever since. And as Caitlin mention: love the fair trade aspect to her business.

Bought the TJ version and the scent was so overwhelming that I could not stand it. I don't think I can remember a smell bothering me so much. I gave the TJ version to someone on my staff with a warning about the smell. Broke down and bought the large JM version and love it. It is expensive but I think it is worth it.

I have tried a few others and have been disappointed. I will not sacrifice quality for cost, especially putting it on my face. Josie's is the only one I will use

I love argon oil for my very dry skin but JM's does not have preservatives and I had some turn rancid on me so now I buy from a brand that does have preservatives. I can't afford to have something that expensive going bad and being thrown away.

I was having a problem with JM's argon oil not penetrating - but just sitting on my skin.

Then I got the Signature Club A TS - Supercharger.

I've been using it with her products, but thought I'd try it this morning with the JM argon oil.

Amazing. Now my skin just feels soft - no oily residue sitting there.

Maybe now I can see what the results of argon oil use are.

When it is sitting on top of your skin it is because you are using too much. there is a reason it comes with a dropper - 3 drops is all I use to moisturize my whole face.

I didn't even use 3 drops. And I used the same amount today as I had in the past.

Thanks for your help tho.
