Dosage
How Much Argan Oil to Use on Face, Hair, Body and Beard
Most people use too much argan oil. Start with the smallest dose that covers the area, wait, then add a drop if skin or hair still feels dry. This chart is the starting point.
Guide
Start low
Argan oil is concentrated. A heavy coat sits on the surface, looks shiny, and transfers to clothes. A thin coat on slightly damp skin or hair absorbs and looks like healthy texture, not oil.
Face and hair leave-ins: 1–3 drops. Beard: 2–4 drops depending on length. Body: a small amount per area, not a handful. Add only after the first layer has been worked in.
If you can see distinct droplets on the skin, you are past the useful dose.

Mistakes that waste oil
Applying on dirty skin, soaking the scalp, using culinary oil on the face, and expecting overnight transformation all lead people to pour more. Clean first, use cosmetic grade, and stay consistent for weeks.

FAQ
Dosage — FAQs
What if my skin still feels dry?
Add one drop, or apply on damper skin. A second thin layer beats one thick one.
Can I mix a drop into moisturizer or conditioner?
Yes for home use. It is an easy way to stretch a small dose through a product you already apply.
Does wholesale oil use the same doses?
The oil is the same cosmetic grade. Formulas use percentages; consumers use drops. We can help with both if you are building a SKU.
