• Moroccanoil’s “Moroccan” oil is actually processed in Israel.
• The brand even sponsors Eurovision (which welcome Israel, and barred Russia in 2022).
Many women who are Argan oil enthusiasts are oblivious to the fact that the brand Moroccanoil is sourced in Israel. Deceived by its name, it is easily assumed by consumers that they are purchasing a North African product for their skin and hair.
The argan oil that is a key ingredient to the product is from beans sourced in Morocco.
But for any sisters reading this: we are not missing out in the slightest. The products only contain a small proportion of the raw oil, it is then combined with lots of synthetic ingredients as the ingredients list state.
Moroccanoil has been a sponsor for Eurovision for many years— the singing contest that proudly hosts Israel without any qualms and disallowed Russia to participate in 2022 due to the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
The Fushi brand maybe a good alternative for you if you’re looking for Argan oil as its sourcing supports women’s cooperatives and promotes fair trade practices in Morocco.
