Disclaimer: Essence of Argan kindly gifted me with a box in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed in this review are mine only.
Founded in 2011, Essence of Argan is the world’s largest provider of certified organic Argan Oil.
They offer a wide variety of products. You can purchase pure argan oil, skin care items, hair products, makeup, and culinary oil. Each product contains 100% pure argan oil.
I really appreciate that when, “you purchase Essence of Argan, you are helping to support a women’s cooperative in Morocco that works to keep the Argan trees thriving on protected land. Over three million people in Southern Morocco receive a fair wage through the cultivation and sales of Argan Oil.” I am all about helping women empower themselves and find a livelihood that enables them to take care of their families and create a better life.
What is argan oil?
Argan oil is a powerhouse. The oil comes from the nut of the fruit from the Argan tree, native to Morocco. It contains linoleic and oleic acid, vitamin E, CoQ10, plant sterols, and melatonin. It has uses for cooking, skincare, and medicine. (1)
The box
I was given the Opulent Skin Box to review. The packaging is simple and elegant, with a black box and the Essence of Argan label. The box was very well packed with black crinkle paper to protect the glass bottles from moving around and potentially breaking during shipping.
When I opened it up, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The Opulent Skin Box contains seven products; there are five serums, pure argan oil, and Caviargan.
Let’s just say it is…
Take a look
The products
VITAMIN B3 BRIGHTENING SERUM WITH ARGAN OIL
Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide (vitamin B3), and argan oil moisturize and balances skin tone.
HYDRATING SERUM WITH HYALURONIC ACID & ARGAN OIL
This hydrating serum moisturizes skin using hyaluronic acid and argan oil.
AGE DEFYING GLOW SERUM WITH ARGAN OIL
The Glowing Serum hydrates skin with vitamin C and argan oil.
REVITALIZING FACIAL OIL WITH ARGAN OIL
A light blend of argan oil and avocado revitalizes skin.
TRIPLE PEPTIDE REPAIRING SERUM WITH ARGAN OIL
Argan oil and Matrixyl give skin a younger look and feel while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
CAVIARGAN CREAM
The Essence of Argan Caviargan Cream is my absolute favorite product. It uses argan oil, caviar, and retinols to stimulate collagen production in the skin. It moisturizes and helps to smoothe the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

My Thoughts
I love these products! They are truly opulent.
I was a little concerned that using oils on my face would make me greasy and develop breakouts, but honestly, the serums are very hydrating and do not feel oily. Once they are massaged into my face it feels moisturized and soft. The serums have completely changed the feel and texture of my skin and my skin tone appears more even.
As said above, I have noticed a huge difference in the areas of my face where I have used the CaviArgan cream – the developing frown line between my eyebrows, the parenthesis lines on the sides of my mouth, and the more prominent fine lines underneath my left eye. In fact, I try to use it as sparingly as possible because I love it so much!
I have added the argan oil to my warm bath and it is very moisturizing all over my body. My legs, elbows, and feet tend to get very try and I am admittedly very bad about regularly applying lotion. Since I’ve been adding a little oil to my bath I haven’t noticed as much dryness or itching.
I’ve also used the argan oil on my children’s’ eczema and has a soothing effect, reducing their itching and scratching.
I did not try any of the cosmetics, hair care products, or the culinary oil, but I would like to. The quality of the products I have tried so far makes me think the other products offered by Essence of Argan would be excellent as well!
I like that the products can be purchased on a subscription basis. I hate running out of my favorite products. With a subscription that won’t happen!
Essence of Argan products are an amazing way to treat yourself and would also make an incredible gift subscription!
