Argan oil is one of the oils behind the softness you feel after a wash or a bath. In our formulas its main benefit is moisture, and it always works alongside other oils. At Marianella we use it in two places, a cold pressed body oil and a creamy rose face wash. For 2026, our best argan oil products are the New Imperial Jade Body Oil ($32), the Rosewood and Litsea Cubeba Imperial Jade Body Oil ($32) and the Rose Face Wash Cream ($25).
Argan oil benefits: what it does for your skin
In our formulas, argan oil is mainly there to moisturize. In the Rose Face Wash Cream, it works with coconut oil to make the lather moisturizing, so you finish washing with soft, refreshed skin. In our Imperial Jade body oils, it's one of five pure oils, plus vitamin E, that together moisturize, soothe and replenish your skin.
That's the most honest way to describe argan oil's benefits. You get the most from it as part of a blend, where each oil does its own job and the skin feels the whole thing.
Argan oil serums, soaps, lotions and body oils: which one to choose
When you're choosing between serums, soaps, lotions and body oils that contain argan oil, ask yourself one thing: do you want the oil to rinse off or to stay on? A cleanser brings argan oil into the few minutes at the sink. A body oil leaves it on your skin for the rest of the evening. We make one of each.

Argan oil in a body oil: it stays on your skin
Our Imperial Jade body oils are cold pressed and undiluted, with no harsh chemicals or additives. Nothing is added to stretch them, so every drop is oil, and the argan stays on your skin after you put it on.
Argan oil in a face wash: part of your daily wash
A face wash is the product you use most often, morning and night. Putting argan oil in a cleansing cream means your skin gets that moisture every time you wash your face.

How to use argan oil in your routine
Start with your face. Every morning and night, massage the Rose Face Wash Cream onto damp skin, rinse with warm water, then follow with a mist or toner. Finish with your body. After a bath or shower, while your skin is still damp, smooth on an Imperial Jade body oil so it seals the moisture in.
