I am not sure what is going on with Josie Maran products but they smell rancid. I have been buying and a loyal customer for years with no issues but recently bought super size pure argan and also separate recent milk tsv and both smelled rancid. I am not sure what is going on but QVC still selling product to consumers as if nothing is wrong.i My guess - either selling old product that is turning or changed process to sell as "clean" product. I also wrote a review stating same thing and guess what - it was never posted!. QVC apperas to only be posting some bad reviews so rating is not as bad as it should be.....stop selling this product until issue is fixed!
I also never had a problem with her oils smelling rancid, I even just finished my big bottle from last year and it never smelled bad at all. i just opened up a new bottle i purchased last month, brand new and it smells rancid. Not sure why the change , I do hope they fix it.
I'm willing to bet that the extremely hot weather which occurred during last summer, or even before that, affected some shipments and storage facilities where the oil was placed. The heat has a negative effect on natural oils.
That's a big reason I stopped purchasing her oils and other products....except the mascara. I get the same oil (all natural, no additives) from WholeFoods or Trader Joe's.
OMG, I've had the same problem. I sent back a large bottle of the Argan Oil because it smelled rancid. QVC replaced it free of charge and I just recieved the replacement in the mail and it smells rancid as well! I'm really upset about it. I love this product and $100 is alot of money to spend on something that I put on my face every night that smells awful. I think I'm going to have to return this bottle as well. I'm super bummed, I loved having the option to buy Josie Maran from QVC, but now I feel like I can't trust the product.
My Argan Reserve Serum has a real strong “nutty” smell. Josie has addressed this several times during the presentation of the serum. Also my Argan Skin Dope serum has a real nutty smell. It’s the leaves and nuts they used. If not familiar with this type of smell it would come off to a rancid smell.
I was going to order the mega size oil then read all the reviews about the smell. The smell of turned oil is awful. I have used her oil for about two years now and have one regular bottle to go but,...
@DebNYC31 I have been using JM Argan Oil for years with no problems. I ordered the oil from Sephora's VIB sale & it also was rancid. I did return it in store & got a good one. I must say that quite a few ladies have had the same problem & returned as I was told by the SA. They must have been stored improperly & or older oils they went rancid. So its not just QVC.
