I've never tried the Josie Maran argan oil. My sister turned me on to the Mogador. I'm very happy with it and saw no reason to try another brand. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I am a Moroccan native and an analytical chemist. I started Mogador Argan Oil with the goal of bringing the best and purest argan oil to the US market at a moderate price. As noted by Reno, a high viscosity and clear color are a good indication of what pure argan oil should be. The only way to be certain that it is 100% pure is to perform a spectral analysis. In Morocco, most of argan oil is cut with safflower oil because it has closer proportions of fatty acids. It appears that cutting it with cooking safflower oil even improves the clarity and color, reduces odors but lowers the viscosity. Practically all sellers on Amazon buy their argan oil online from Moroccan companies that sollicited them with lower prices than the market including delivery to an US address than what we pay at the coop where, thanks to established family and business connections, we pay more than these shaddy exporters charge. For us, that's the first indication that something is wrong with their product, we would not even bother testing it. Also, an USDA and ECOCERT Certification is not a guarantee that you are getting unadulterated argan oil.

Pure, Raw & Cold Pressed Organic Argan Oil is supposed to have a light nutty aroma & that is a sign of Good quality Argan Oil. The nutty aroma disappears after a few minutes of application. Commercial brands deodorize & refine their oil to get rid of this nutty smell and in the process most of the nutrients are lost. Savanaah's Argan Oil is 100% Pure, Raw & First Cold Pressed, nothing is added or removed to protect the nutrients & the purity of the Oil. As you can see from the responses of our regular customers, Savanaah's Argan Oil does have a light nutty aroma to it & is the Premium Grade USDA Certified Organic Argan Oil there is.

Are there any carrier oils mixed with the argan oil---does this oil contain ONLY argan oil?

The label doesn't say if it's cold pressed or not, but it does read 100% pure. I used to use Josie Maran's Argan Oil, but just couldn't afford it any more. I've found this company's argan oil to be top quality, feel the full benefits to my skin (face & body) as well as my hair, and I'm spending a whole lot less for it!

This says 100% argan oil. I previously used Josie Maran products - and still do. I don't notice a difference between this and her organ oil except the price!

Argan Oil has a great earthy, nutty scent, unless you're opposed to more natural smells (I use Aveda products as a baseline. If you do not like the smell of Aveda products you will not like the smell of nut-based oils). Argan Oil has a wonderful smell. It's less potent than Coconut Oil but somewhat similar.

For some reason, Amazon has listed my purchase of Jojoba oil as Argan oil. Nonetheless, I assume the production for both is similar. From the answered questions section of the Jojoba product listing: "Okay, I contacted the company and this is what they said: "Our Jojoba oil is organic, but our facility is not certified USDA Organic. This is something we are working on, but it is a timely and costly process, so at the moment, all we can say is that it is organic. The plants are grown organically, and no chemicals are introduced in the extraction process, so the oil is 100% pure. I will take their word on it for this one. Especially since I've been reading through the reviews on this and people with sensitive skin are saying that it is pure. I have not tried the... Read More Annelle B. Secks answered on March 7, 2014:" I provided a comment there, as well, saying mostly that I'm impressed with the fact that the bottle and dropper are both made from glass rather than plastic. I am assuming that, because they spend more money on better packaging, they're also likely to be selling a higher-quality product. But I have no way of knowing for sure.

Following this product with argan oil helps to lock in the moisture while nourishing the new skin. There are 2 argan oil options, the Watts Beauty Ultra ArganGold 100% Pure Argan Oil that has been naturally filtered to render a thinner, more penetrating argan oil which is also used by high end cosmetic companies. Or the Raw Watts Beauty ArganGold 100% Pure Argan Oil which has a stronger natural odor and is a little thicker...

Hi Deborah! I am not familiar with the Barbary Fig Oil (and never tried it). So, I can't give you an advice on that. However, I find this argan oil very hydrating w/o feeling sticky. BTW, I have dry skin (especially during the winter). It also has help erase some acne spots that I had before. Good Luck find out if you want to try/use fig oil!

I have never purchased Josie Maran but I like Savannah's for the reasons that the seller indicated in their response - Fair Trade, Ethical Sourcing, Sustainable Farming and on top of that it is Organic, great quality and comes in very attractive glass bottles. I will continue to purchase Savannahs.

Hi Lisa, i personally didńt like this product. I found it to be full of chemicals and with a fake smell. I would recommend 100% pure, organic Argan Oil. A little gies a long way and it is great for your and your babýs hair and scalp. My wife uses it every day on both our kids hair and skin, especially during the winter. She likes the Zakia's Morocco oil. Good luck and best regards.

I've never tried argan oil shampoo. Sorry. All I can say is Nizoral works well for me, as long as I follow directions. I wash my hair every other day and use conditioner. Every other wash is done twice, and then the conditioner. Also, no odor.

it is stated on the lable that it's 100% argan oil. i can't say if the lable is true or not but anything imported to the US "should be" correctly labled thus I'd choose to believe it.
