By cb
I've been using Josie Maran's Argan Oil, but it's just too damn expensive!
So after reviewing a bunch of cheaper alternatives, I decided to order this one.
Fast shipping, wrapped tight in layers and layers of bubble wrap.. so the shipping was great.
I was kind of worried about the plastic pump packaging, as shown in picture. When I saw the tight bubble wrapping, I thought, 'great... the bubble wrap probably pushed on the pump and leaked all over the place!' But it wasn't a pump!
It had a glass dropper on top with a rubber squeezer, which is the same as Josie Maran. With the dropper, I can control how much I want, not like the pump, not to mention it's a waste of plastic!
Okay, so for the comparison:
Smell: JM has more of a very feint nutty smell (I wouldn't call it strong like some reviewers say about JM or other expensive Argan oil) while Elma & Sana has a very, very feint sour smell that resembles a hint of vinegar and few drops of citrus (in the bottle... I had to smell it for a whole minute to figure out what the smell was). But once applied, JM's nutty smell disappears completely while E&S's sour smell disappears and leaves a soft nut/citrusy smell, which is unexpected but not in an unpleasant way.
Consistency: Surprisingly, E&S's oil was thicker than JM. I applied a drop of both brands on my legs and tilted them. JM ran faster than E&S.
Absorbency on skin: After applying a drop of each brand on my leg, I rubbed them the same number of times in a circular motion and waited. They both absorbed quickly, pretty much at the same time. Both do not leave a greasy residue. Absorbed quickly and skin feels very moist & soft.
Absorbency on hair: Surprisingly... E&S oil absorbed faster on hair! I took a little portion of hair from each side and applied one drop of the oil. At first, both hair looked too oily... clumping to each other like wet hair. After stroking and massaging the oil into my hair, E&S absorbed faster, and JM was still oily. When I took each portion of hair and lifted it up straight, the E&S hair was standing, while JM was sagging... like it was being weighed down. Never noticed that before...
Price: E&S 4oz was $26.99 whereas I got the .5 oz of JM at Sephora for $14 (and the 4oz is a whopping $96!!)
So... I will buy from this brand from now on. I was worried about finding a good, if not great, cheaper alternative to the expensive from all the reviews. I thought I would probably have to try 3-5 different brands! But I'm very happy with the buy. I recommend this to first time users who are apprehensive about the high price of Argan oil market, and also to frequent expensive oil users who want to save lots of money!

By Dr. M. A. Dixon
I love Argan oil and am interested in purchasing the best at the best price so I decided to purchase the four organic ones offered on Amazon that interest me the most. This review is comparing ELMA&SANA® Golden Argan Oil 100% Pure Cold Pressed Virgin Organic Certified By Ecocert -4oz(120ml),
with 100% Cold Pressed Organic Argan Oil 100 ml BY AAA Shea Butter
and Watts Beauty ArganGoldTM 120ml /100% Cert. Organic Cold Pressed Argan Nut Oil - Hair & Body -Morocco
and Slice of Nature© Virgin Argan Oil. 100% Pure, Raw, Cold pressed. 100ml(3.5oz).
Comparing color and thickness, the oils appear the same. The only differences I noticed are slightly different odors and skin sensations with these four oils I purchased at the same time from Amazon. The AAA SHEA butter has a slightly musky / musty odor. The Watts Beauty has a slight deodorized odor about it and increases my heart rate slightly upon application to my skin and appears to engage my immune system as my neck glands will swell shortly after application. The Slice of Nature and the ELMA&SANA have the freshest odor of the four with the Slice of Nature having the stronger nutty scent of the two; skin application feels very soothing and calming in a quenching sensation sort of way. The Slice of Nature feels a little thicker and leaves more of a barrier on my skin whereas the ELMA&SANA seems to absorb in better and be less noticeable upon touch and less sheen reflection. This particular EMA&SANA Golden Argan Oil gets 5 stars from me every time. The differences are subtle and most consumers probably would not be able to tell the difference at all. I considered not posting the review since any difference was negligible, but decided there might be others out there wondering the same thing. If so, please click helpful below.

By Araminta
I wanted to try a different brand of argan oil just to see if there is really a difference between the rather large selection of oils available on amazon. And there is a difference. Of all that I've tried, this is the least effective for me. It is of thinner consistency than others, has a very faint scent of generic vegetable oil and is colorless. From all accounts, the natural scent of argan oil is similar to olives and the color is slightly brown with consistency being a little on the thicker side. My favorite brand, Watts, has all these qualities and works great. I have used this one now for about two weeks; the oil does not absorb into my skin as well as the others, and skin feels dry again the following day whereas with Watts I can shower every other day and my skin stays smooth and moisturized even by the third day. Honestly it feels like sesame oil or jojoba oil which does not mean that's what it is - maybe the method of processing takes away from the argan oil's integrity. All is not lost, however; I can use it to remove eye makeup and will continue using on my body until the bottle is empty, but I won't buy it again and will reorder the Watts which still can't be beat. I understand that others like this brand very much but for me it is just so-so.
*****ADDENDUM*****
I just figured out why this is different from the Watts. The argan nut for this one has been roasted before the oil is extracted. Watts extracts their oil from the raw nut.
