Q carries numerous brands and price points of various items.

makeup

hair care lines

clothing

handbags
shoes

etc

they need to do the same with argan oil products.

you're missing sales QVC

the JM fans will still be there and buy, nothing to worry about

@TheMemphisVette I may be in the minority, but you can purchase that oil and many others in many other stores...even WholeFoods and Trader Joes.

JM's oil is not as pure as she claims....many other ingredients and her "pitch" is over the top. I purchase my oils in health food stores/Vitamin Shops, too.

@TheMemphisVette @Shanus - I've often wondered what the difference is with JM's oil versus other argan oil brands. Why is JM so much more expensive than other brands?

@San Antonio Gal Short answer is people are willing to pay for it. Longer answer is the covenience of ordering it from Q and being done with it instead of shopping around for a better deal.

Many women are caught up in the hype and mermaid outfits with tanned, oiled up skin which looks better if so much oil is constantly applied during an hour presentation....surgery helps more than argan oil ever will.

I have purchased argan oil from various retailers. Can't seem to discern a difference between Josie Maran and Vitacost except the packaging and price!

JM is making a fortune off Q buyers overpaying

I get my 100% organic Argan Oil from Trader Joe's

If the model Adae only uses Josie's argan oil, then I'm sold!!

Actually, I did try the reserve, but found it to be no better (or no worse) than my favorite rose hip seed oil. Argan is not an oil I go out of my way to use -- at least on its own.

Highly recommend The Plant Guru on Etsy for this and other oils/butters including organics.

They have their own site as well and accept returns. Been very pleased with quality and pricing.

The model Adae always looks shiny and greasy....if that's the look you want than go for it.

@SeaMaiden I was thinking more that she has totally looking firm, unlined, poreless [albeit shiny] skin. I have my vulnerable areas. Of course I'm sure I'm older than she.

@Harpa @She is young, and has thicker skin too. I am not saying it is not firm and healthy....just very shiny and greasy looking when she applies the oil.

I buy mine from Amazon . It's not an oil I use a lot but when I do buy it I buy it from Kate Blanc! I don't use it on my hair as it changes the texture of it. I have been known to use the 100% Organic USDA Argan Oil to my skin, however.

I have used both Josie’s and Trader Joe's. In the actual oi, I don't see any difference, but I love Josie’s products. I have all kinds of stuff from her, and all are on my re-buy list.

Wow, I just checked and JM argan oil isn't even organic or cold pressed! Deal breaker for me.

I got a small bottle of JM argan in a TILI box. I also recently purchased cold pressed Active Argan from HSN because it's oxygenated...but it's not organic.

My point is regarding the JM Reserve which is a golden color and supposed to be more superior. Active Argan is the same golden color but JM regular Argan is clear. I wonder if AA is the same quality of the Reserve since they are the same color?

So I checked my bottle of Argan oil from Plant Guru. It's not organic but it is cold pressed and has a light golden color. Label says shelf life of 2 yrs.

I paid $8.50 for 2oz. I bought this as a carrier oil to dilute essential oils and not skincare.

@YogaGal When I tried the reserve, it was some time ago. It was more in the color of brown, not golden -- made from the bark and the leaves of the argan tree. That's what was told, and really that's why I was interested.

I do not know what Josie is saying today is the source of the golden reserve.

I've also tried Morgen's AA (it was thrown in something else I had gotten from her line). That is a definite golden. I am not sure where the golden color comes from this, however.

The more color in the oil (I have found) the more nutrients. Josie's clear oil is too refined (for me).

@Harpa Thanks so much for your comments. I agree - the fact the JM oil is clear tells me it's more refined. Other argan oils i have used have color.
