Expert note
MISLEADING PRODUCT! Despite "Argan Oil" name, this is 90%+ SILICONES with minimal actual argan (5th ingredient = less than 5%). Just 6 ingredients total - no proteins, no vitamins, no other botanicals. Basically a silicone serum with marketing spin. Compare to OGX Bond Protect Oil (92 score) with 10 REAL oils. This provides temporary smoothing but no real nourishment. Skip this - get the Bond Protect Oil instead!
OGX Argan Oil of Morocco Penetrating Oil by OGX — a oil formulated to balance and care for scalp and hair. Designed to leave hair feeling refreshed and lightweight.
