This expensive Moroccan oil is usually sold in dark glass bottles, sometimes in beautiful blue glass dishes. If you buy in transparent bottles, without a doubt in the authenticity of the product, it is better to pour into a dark glass bottle or into a piece of aluminum or stainless steel. The oil from Morocco is now increasingly being produced in dishes with dispensers, which ensure the economical use of expensive drops.
Very doubtful products of argan in packs of China and other countries. Spain and, of course, the Moroccan Kingdom are more reliable. The best case for the acquisition of the original, when someone is going to rest in Morocco or Spain and bring a bottle with a precious product by request or as a gift. But do not forget about compliance with customs regulations.
