Buying pure organic Argan Oil on ebay

I am nearly out of my first bottle of argan oil and am looking on ebay to buy some more. Found some really good deals. 2 oz for under $20. The sellers appear to be fairly new...one has 115 sells, the other 412. I'm frugal and would love to pounce on one of these deals, but I also don't want to be purchasing cooking oil. So, what should I do? What does the playground advise? Thanks!

What does Argan oil do? If it's for skin care Id love to know what it does for your skin.. Im so tired of my current products but there are so many out there!

I learned about it from this thread and decided to buy some. The only things I use on my face are noxzema and argan oil. The oil absorbs into my skin beautifully and it's not greasy. It has many wonder properties about it. I met up with my childhood friend not long ago and she complimented my skin by saying it was flawless. It's good stuff. I got some for my sister and she loves it too.

Argan Oil
Thanks for the link, I so need something different! ROC was nice but seems to stop being effective after awhile.. then I switched my normal moisturizer to something new by the same company and hate it. But feel like I should use it up since I paid for it lol Ive also heard Emu oil is good but havent tried it.. will look into Argan

I really do love it. If something doesn't work for me, I quit using it, but this stuff feels very light on my face. I put 5 to 6 drops on my face at night. For day use, I will use 4 drops. My sister uses 3. Use whatever feels right for you.

I went ahead and looked at the one sellers track record and it appears to be very, very good and the oil is certified. I bought 2 oz for a total of $18. Not bad. It should last me longer than the last bottle did because I ended up tipping over the open bottle and half of it spilled out!

I found a few brands on amazon that got good ratings, might order a small bottle to try and see how I like it, then move on to a larger one

There's an online seller that used to have it for $100 for 32 oz - which works out to a whole lot cheaper than 2 oz for $20. google argan oil and then search through the links, you'll probably find it.

I use it on my hair. Awesome for frizziness and makes my hair so soft and shiny.

I hope you like it as much as I do, Kristy. I don't think I'll ever use anything else on my face.

I bought a 4 oz bottle of organic Argan oil on eBay and have been using it on my face - it's nice stuff! Thanks for recommending it, StormySkies.

The seller is Argan Queen. I got it pretty fast and thought the price was good.
