I spent years wondering why the supposedly-awesome coconut oil for skin wasn’t cutting it for the dry skin on my face. It was SO frustrating! This discovery totally rocked my world, and I’m still using it daily, 5+ years later.
Huge thanks to Wilder Supply Co. who asked me to try some of their skin care products and originally sponsored this post. (All sponsored partnerships on this site are 100% my own thoughts, and I only publish work for products/companies I’ve personally tried and love.)

Every winter without fail, I get terribly dry skin on my face. The day after the we turn on the furnace for the first time in the fall, it starts. My face – especially in my T-zone – gets itchy, dry, and flaky. After my shower, it feels tight and awful, like that feeling you get when wearing a face mask that has dried and is ready to wash off. I do not appreciate this facet of my undeniably otherwise-flawless beauty. 😉 Not cool, face, not cool at all.
So what’s a natural living, crunchy mama to do?
[Enter, stage left, hero character]
Does Coconut Oil for Skin Actually Work?
Coconut oil is the darling of the natural living crunchy community. Every real food blogger worth their (unrefined sea) salt will tell you that there are literally hundreds of ways to use the stuff, from making delicious baked goods, homemade toothpaste, or eye makeup remover, to lubricating your you-know-what and using it as a massage oil in the bedroom.
Ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Remember how Windex is the cure-all? Same idea, less hilarious and more natural.
It’s commonly claimed that using coconut oil for skin is the Awesomest! Moisturizer! Ever! too. For years I kept some in a little sealed container in my bathroom, carried it in my purse, and even packed it for trips, just so I could swipe a little out with my finger to help moisturize my dry skin. It worked… sorta, but not great. I also tried jojoba oil for a while (holy expensive, batman). It was better, but still not awesome.
The Ideal Moisturizer for Your Skin, According to Research
According to this recent study on moisturizing products for dry skin, the ideal moisturizer will have the following attributes:
Reduce and prevent further TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss)
Restore lipid barrier, i.e., duplicating and enhancing the skin’s moisturizing retention mechanisms
Hypoallergenic, non-sensitizing, fragrance free, non-comedogenic
Absorbed immediately, providing immediate hydration
Cosmetically acceptable
Affordable.
How I First Learned About Coconut Oil Alternatives
My life was forever changed when an email landed in my inbox from Hannah at Wilder Supply Co. (Update September 2016: Wilder was formerly called Taproot Farms. Same great company, different name.)
(Seriously though – if any face moisturizer could be called life-changing, it’s this one.)
Wilder Supply Co. is a family-owned business located on an off-grid homestead in Chickaloon, Alaska. They offer a variety of products including lip balm, face/body oils, shea butter, perfume, and goat milk soap (made from fresh goat milk from the family homestead).
[annnd… now cue the dramatic music]
She wanted me to review some skin care products from their shop. I was all like, OK, sure, sounds fun. I was tired of using coconut oil for skin and being disappointed. Little did I know that my face moisturizing routine as I knew it was about to be forever changed.
I tried a few different products: a peach lip balm which works beautifully, and a sandalwood goat milk handcrafted soap – smells incredible, feels totally luxurious in the shower. I LOVE the silky smooth feel of it.
Then… I tried the Moroccan Argan Oil.
Backstory: when Hannah asked me what I’d like to try from their shop, I mentioned that the argan oil looked interesting (I had never heard of it before) because I had suffered from dry, itchy skin on my face for so long, and my current coconut oil for skin routine was not really cutting it.
This was followed by a discussion of the various oils and some brilliant explanations from her which pretty much explained everything as to why the other oils hadn’t worked for me. Here’s what I learned from her, and from my own rabbit hole of research that blew my mind:
What Does the Scientific Research Show About Argan Oil and Coconut Oil?
Well, first of all – the body of research on plant oils for therapeutic skin purposes is fairly small. Unfortunately, the laws in the United States on what skincare and cosmetic companies are allowed to include in their products are extremely loose. The U.S. only bans 11 ingredients, which is in stark contrast to the 1,328 chemicals banned by law in the European Union (28 countries). Canada’s laws are similarly strict to the E.U. with hundreds of ingredients banned.
According to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, the E.U. also requires safety assessments on all products prior to being sold, whereas the U.S. does not. They point out that “the hazard-based, precautionary approach of the E.U. acknowledges that chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects simply don’t belong in cosmetics – regardless of the concentration of the chemical being used.”
What does this all mean? It means that the biggest cosmetic brands (the ones who could afford to fund studies) have little need to do so, and wouldn’t want to anyway, because the results on their products wouldn’t be good.
Here’s What we DO Know, Based on What’s Available:
- According to this 2013 study on jojoba in dermatology, jojoba oil isn’t actually an oil. It’s a wax ester that is very similar to the skin’s natural sebum. So, while it feels really nice on the skin (and worked better than coconut oil for me), it can’t soak in to the layers of the epidermis and moisturize as effectively as an oil like argan.
- Coconut oil for skin is a very light moisturizer that sinks in quickly, which appeals to a lot of people because it doesn’t leave a greasy feeling on the skin. It works well for some, but not those with very dry skin. This 2019 study found that coconut oil was effective as an emollient (softening skin) but that it was not found to leave an effective barrier to seal in moisture (aka “occlusive” – for the “most occlusive” example, think of petroleum jelly leaving a thick layer on skin). Dry skin needs something more occlusive than coconut oil, but less so than petroleum jelly (not a product I recommend, for the record).
- According to Table 1 in this study, coconut oil is not considered an effective occlusive (protective barrier), emollient (softens rough skin), or humectant (draws moisture). That same study points out that it does have excellent anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, so if you don’t have very dry skin or acne-prone skin (see comedogenic note below), it may be a great choice for you. (It’s also worth noting that other studies do refer to occlusive and emollient effects of coconut oil, and I’m sure there’s truth to that, however other plant-based oils seem to be referenced as more effective in this regard.)
- According to this comedogenic chart, argan oil is non-comedogenic with a rating of 0, so it won’t clog your pores.
- Conversely, coconut oil is listed with a rating of 4 (which means it can easily clog pores). That doesn’t bother many people, but if you have a tendency to get clogged pores (blackheads, acne breakouts, etc), coconut oil may exacerbate that problem.
- It is worth noting that the concept of comedogenicity requires more research before we can draw too many conclusions. Still – anecdotally, many people report that coconut oil just doesn’t leave their skin feeling hydrated (like me), or it leads to acne breakouts (hence the comedogenicity discussion).
- To sum up my own experience – while jojoba oil provided a protective layer without sinking in well, and coconut oil sinks in but doesn’t leave much of a protective layer, argan oil does both (see research below), making it more effective overall.
- In this 2014 study involving 60 women, the researchers concluded that argan oil improved skin hydration by restoring barrier function (keeping irritants, microbes, and allergens out) AND maintaining the water-holding capability (keeping moisture in).
- A follow-up study in 2015 by the some of the same researchers concluded that argan oil has an effective anti-aging effect by significantly improving skin elasticity.
So while coconut oil might work well for people who have skin in the middle of the spectrum (generally non-problematic skin), it doesn’t usually work great for those of us who tend to have dry or oily skin issues.
My Personal Experience with Argan Oil
As soon as I got the package in the mail, I started using the argan oil every morning, especially after a shower (I don’t shower every day – it helps to avoid drying the skin too much)
I dab a few drops on my driest areas (right between my eyebrows, forehead, around the base of my nose) and massage it in. It literally only takes a few drops, and my skin drinks it up thirstily.
It is especially effective if I give my face a quick, gentle exfoliation first. In the shower, I just gently scrub my face with a washcloth and it works great. I don’t feel a need to buy special products, or to be particularly harsh with scrubbing. It’s also most effective when applied to damp skin because your pores are more open.
Since using the argan oil, I have noticed an absolute 100% improvement in the way the skin on my face feels on a daily basis. That tight, dry feeling is gone!
As far as I can tell, the results are long-lasting too, because on the days I don’t shower, I sometimes don’t even use the oil because my skin is still happily moisturized from the day before.
It’s incredibly effective (this is about as close to defining something as a miracle product as I’ve ever gotten) and it’s frugal too, considering how little of it you need at a time. At the risk of overstating my case, to be honest, I am utterly blown away and thrilled with this product. Truly.
Now, not only does it work well and not cost me an arm and a leg (side note: yes, the price seems high at first glance compared to drugstore junk, but my first bottle lasted me almost four years!!), but consider these amazing factors as well:
Interesting Facts About the Origins and Production of Argan Oil:
- Argan oil is one of the rarest, most highly-valued oils in the world (source). It is a plant-based oil that comes from the Argan tree, which is exclusive to Morocco. It is called the “tree of life” there, and it has been used by locals for centuries.
- Every part of the plant is utilized: “Getting oil from the fruit of the argan tree involves drying it, extracting the nuts, cracking them to reveal the kernels, and pressing them to release the oil. The byproduct of pressing is a thick argan paste, which is sold locally for cosmetic products. Nothing else is wasted, as the outer pulp provides food for village animals, while the shells are burned for fuel.” (source)
- The process of extraction and selling this oil is done in a sustainable fashion. Almost all Argan oil is distributed by local co-operatives of women in Morocco (source). To this day, the most efficient method of extraction is hand-pressing the kernels, which provides valuable jobs to women in the country.
What are the Health Benefits of Argan Oil?
- Argan oil has incredible health benefits. According to this study, it’s rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E, which are both traits held in high regard in the beauty industry. The industry often adds synthetic versions of these things to products to be able to market them as anti-aging and healing, but of course, the natural (non-synthetic) version is far superior.
- According to the same study, “daily topical application of argan oil has also been shown to improve skin elasticity and skin hydration by restoring the barrier function and maintaining the water-holding capacity. Additionally, topical applications onto skin provide a softening and relaxing effect on the skin.”
- This study discusses multiple amazing health benefits of argan oil beyond skin moisturizing, including UV protection, and even cancer prevention (yes, really!)
The Bottom Line?
I first wrote this post in 2013, and it has been viewed nearly four million times since. There has been some pushback to criticism of our beloved coconut oil (of which I’m still a huge fan – I use it all the time for cooking, and a few other things!) but overall, I have heard from a ton of others who were relieved to know that they weren’t the only ones struggling with coconut oil for skin as a moisturizer!
I still use and love my argan oil to this day – I get mine from the same company: Wilder Supply Co. (<– get a special R&H discount through that link). I trust their quality.
They’re a small family business that prides itself on offering natural, affordable products of exceptional quality. They also value sustainability and top-notch service, which pretty well makes them my ideal company.

It’s no surprise that I’m a huge coconut oil fan, for it’s the do-everything oil with next-to-zero downside. Coconut oil is loaded with good fats that provide us with energy, able to fight microbes in the body and excellent for cooking. It even smells amazing!
Macarena
Interesting story. I just don’t like the fact that you don’t shower everyday. That bothers me.
Kay
False. Showering everyday strips your skin of natural oils (to various extends depending on the products you use, of course). Tbh, get the hell over it. It’s not gross. It’s actually better for your skin.
Beth
“Macarena” – that sounds like a heavy burden to bear. Maybe you should seek help for that? As for me, I’m happy and carefree about it all.
Maybe you’ll get there one day. xo. 😉
Stephanie
“I just rub my face vigorously with a washcloth and it works great” GAHHHHHH!
Amalia
Bwahahahaha!!!!! This freaked me out too! Her methods sounded good until I read that
Zsaire Gable
I don’t wash my face daily. Manipulating the skin on your face everyday will lead to wrinkles as you age.
I use, oddly enough, Coconut oil. If you put Emu oil on top it will take the moisturizing effects deep into your skin down to a cellular level.
Stephanie
I’ve always read that facial massage is great for the skin!
Gowest
No, please don’t use Emu Oil. It is an animal product. Read up on Emu Farms in USA and it’ll explain the extracting methods of Emu Oil. Coconut is plant based.
I don't use coconut oil either anymore
I have stopped using coconut oil after I learned that they abused monkeys while harvesting coconuts for oil. It’s truly sad, so I have begun using argan oil instead.
Alma Ortega
What do you mean they abused monkeys while harvesting coconut oil? Which part of the world you heard that? I grew up in the farm and until now still taking care of the farm that is full of coconut trees and no monkeys were involved in harvesting coconuts at all. Most parts of my country (Philippines) are full of coconuts and there is no such thing as monkeys involved with our coconut farming, nothing at all.

Olive oil is GREAT for your face. I dont use the food version because it stains pillows, but I do use the Made from Earth Olive Night Cream, which has the olive oil and olive butter on it. During the day, I use the Lady Soma Argan Oil on my face. I found that Argan Oil is fantastic at removing the flakes you get from the initial Retin-A “flash Burn”.
One thing to remember is that if you are using a moisturizer, please apply the oil on top of your moisturizer. Moisturizers can’t penetrate oils, but the oils can penetrate the moisturizers.
Dina H
Your body’s skin is thicker and tougher than the skin on your face so companies can get away with putting fragrances and cheaper ingredients in a body lotion. Dont use these body lotions on your face. I am like you also, I just like to use one product for face and body and go! I now use the Valencia Orange Lotion from Made from Earth – its designed for both the face and body. I use quickly on my face, then body, and I am ready to go. Its smells great and has made my skin super soft – and my husband loves the smell of light oranges on my skin!
Rachel
I like coconut oil as a body moisturizer, but not for my face. I have a pretty oily complextion and have read that jojoba oil is good for that as it helps balance the oil, but I have never bought it because of the price.
Travel Diva Angela
I also decided to start making my own body scrub to see if that will help. I thought that scrubbing with my bath mitts would work but despite at least daily use, my legs are still too dry.
Can anyone tell me there feelings on the difference between salt and sugar scrubs?
Jolene
This is a recipe I got from Ole Henrickson the Celebrity Skin Guru who was on Oprah. It’s 2:2:1 brewed coffee grounds, sea salt and sesame oil. Eucalyptus essential oil is optional, this is good for mornings as it invigorates so not good for bed time. My husband and I have used this for years and it’s wonderful! Do not wash off the sesame oil with soap, it helps to detox and moisturize. We use it on our face and body. Something I wanted to get back into is dry brushing before showers. I hope the recipe works for you. PS bring a cup if you don’t have a handheld shower head to rinse the tub surround. ?
Becky
What kind of dry brush do you use?
Travel Diva Angela
I love lotions and potions and all the skin care products out there. But in the last few months I’ve wanted to be more natural and have been using coconut oil and sesame seed oil for full body moisturizing. I have oily facial skin so really don’t use oils on my face too much. I live in MI and it gets cold which is drying to the skin. So I thought coconut oil would work at keeping my dark skin supple and ash free. Hmph! I recently began paying closer attention to my legs and feet and noticed that my legs especially are still very dry and a little flaky. I am 54 years old and even when my skin is dry it is still very soft, it just gets really ashy, ugh!. I have always had soft skin, even receiving compliments over the years from others, men and women alike. Now i am wondering if coconut oil is helping since my legs still show signs of severe dryness. I am probably going to go back to old moisturizing products previously used…Vaseline, Shea butter, etc.
Annie
I’ve made those “lotion bars” using unrefined shea Butter, Coconut oil , beeswax and cocoa butter. I give them as gives, my parents LOVE them, Mom swears it cured some skin problem she was having. They are very moisturizing, good on tough areas like dry feet/elbows. In the winter my hands would crack and even bleed- very painful. Any hand lotion would burn because of the alcohol making it worse. As long as I slather them with the lotion bar at night before bed, the problem pretty much went away. Easy to make, just google “lotion bars” – fun too! I want to make some that are noncomedogenic for facial use 🙂
Mechelle Cranford
I was purchasing a well-known brand of oils that were already premixed with several oils and it was OK, but very expensive. So, I have started my own version…I use Argan oil during the day and coconut oil at night and sometimes, a dab of EVOO. I wash my face and neck with the oils and then moisturize with them, too. I started this regimen about a month ago and my fine lines, and even the deeper lines have all but disappeared. I have a few sun spots that have started fading, as well. My face is much more hydrated and glowing. People wanna know my secret and don’t believe I’m am a 48 yo, menopausal woman.
Sarah siapno
U said u wash ur face wiith oils?,so u dont use soap to wash it ? Can u tell me how u do it?
beatrix kiddo
it is widely known as oil cleansing. there are several ways you can go about it, but essentially you just use the oil to clean your makeup off and “wash” your face. it might sound counter intuitive as many think that the oil will make your face oily or cause breakouts, but if you use non-comedogenic oils they clean your skin and leave it feeling moisturized and supple. there are a lot of tutorials and different methods you can use available on youtube. I have been doing this since I was a teenager and have never had any skin issues. now i am close to 30 and people still mistake me for a high school kid lol.
CurlyThriver
Jojoba oil is excellent for oily and acne-prone complexions! Google “oil cleansing method” – it completely changed the way I do skin care.
Annie
This is interesting Felicity- thanks!
Annie
I used to think washing with oil was completely insane but tried it and like it alot! You just slather on an oil cleanser or oil of your choice, mix your own even, onto your dry face, then rinse with a warm wet rag and water. You’d think it would leave your skin dirty and clog pores (I have acne prone skin big time) but it doesn’t. Its worth a try.
Amy
What do you mean you way your face with them and also moisturize?
Angela
Just use the oil like it’s soap, and wash your face with it. Then put more on after washing for moisturizer. I’m 49, and people tell me I’m looking younger and younger.
Angela
I use sweet almond oil for both washing and moisturizing.
LittleRaven
I also almond oil for moisturizing and nails. It works wonders specially under the eyes
Donna Fink
Hi,
Would you mind sharing which argan oil and coconut oil you use and your process of using them?
Donna
lisa
True story , I love CCNO and use it regularly for lots of things . I found a recipe on pinterest for a cleanser using it and baking soda . It claimed to give you super soft skin . I had never had a break out in my life ! I woke up with an entire full on acne break out . It left permanent scars . I am 36 and now have acne scars just from this . So I commented and explained what happened . You would have thought that I suggested we all go murder kittens . People were up in arms telling me that my skin was just getting rid of toxins and you can’t possibly have a break out from coconut oil . Thank you for this post !! I thought that I was just some weird non crush worthy freak that would never be able to find a natural moisturizer .
Sandy
What would you suggest for whole body moisturizing? Coconut oil is not cutting it for me either. I’ve never tried argan. Is it too expensive to use all over?? Any HELP would be appreciated 🙂
Beth
It would be more expensive, yes. If you have dry skin all over your body, it’s more than likely that there’s something missing in your diet or that your gut health isn’t great. Things I’d try first: fish oil (omega 3’s), cutting out gluten or dairy, and cutting out sugar. Beyond that, try a Whole30… or look into Leaky Gut issues. 🙂
Laura
I too, cannot use coconut oil on my face. Way to greasy and never fully absorbs! It literally just sits there. I love goats milk soap!!! I get mine from a small business too where they raise the goats. Rose of Sharon acres and Sassy Goat are both wonderful! Rose of Sharon makes a cream and lotion I find divine for face and body. Of course, it has the goats milk in it! I do make my own blend of facial oil I use from time to time as well.
Jess
Thanks for this feature. I heard so much about coconut oil for flare ups of skin sensitivity, but even the fractionated (liquified) version would have repurcussions around my chin if I went too past my cheeks with it, and with any close recurrence. Jojoba is nicer for my oilier combo skin base. Trader Joes had it at a not-horrible, ie great, price. Maybe still. The goats milk combos sound very good. Anything shea blend usually deeply conditions for me, but facial skin can be more temperamental to heavy butters. I wonder if the goats milk balances out the fats better, for face.
Beth
I use just the argan oil for my face – no goat’s milk or any butters added. I love it. 🙂 Hope you find what works for you!
DavetteB
I’m in the group that can’t use coconut oil on my skin; it dries me out and makes my skin flake. A soap maker told me that affects about half the population. It’s usually okay in wash off products like soap or body scrub, but that I shouldn’t use it for moisturizing. I make homemade body butter now that is perfect for my skin.
Does the argan oil you recommend have a fragrance? I can’t find any locally that doesn’t have added stinky fragrances.
Jen
I used to use coconut oil but experienced exactly the same thing. I have super dry skin. I found a website http://www.goldclover.com that sells grass fed beef TALLOW which I had no idea what it was but it’s a type of animal fat. Tallow has worked great on my face, my feet and even on my daughter’s eczema. She adds essential oils and sells her them online from her small business in Redding, CA. Been great for me and my family! But I’m interested in adding the argon to nail those really dry spots, so thanks!! 🙂
Zsaire Gable
Tallow is the dat from the middle of the long bones of cattle.
Stephanie Seery
Tallow is fat from cows. Marrow is the stuff inside the bones. #askanurse

I’ve tried coconut oil, organic, I love it for tons of uses. It was too greasy for my face, but it did work. Since I am now prone to adult acne (32 yrs old) even though when I was younger , just five years ago I would literally have strangers tell me I had beautiful skin. I miss those days… I have also tried Josie maron argon oil and other of her products. I adore them ! They are less oily but I still tend to apply only on my real trouble spots where it’s dry and flakey. What I find that has never failed, is exfoliating one to two times a week with a charcoal face scrub, and applying a new face moisturizer called BELIEVE you find it at sephora. It’s water based and it does wonders from the first time you use it. I’ve tried tons of things, I either got acne, it was too greasy, or my face was still dry. I wasn’t sure about this until I got a free sample, and I also read about it in cosmopolitan and vogue as one of the top ten products celebrities swore by, in 2015. Sure enough, I tried it, and I WAS SOLD ! a little goes a long way too. It’s about $40 for a bottle, but it lasts a good while, and it’s well worth it ! Trust me !
Brianne
I also use argan oil for my hair. It makes even the most damaged hair feel silky and easy to brush or comb. It even works as a mild heat protectant so feel free to blow dry with minimal frizz.

Andrea
Different oils have different properties. It is a good idea to therefore combine these. Also, our skin can get ‘satisfied’ of one oil that means that the skin has got enough of the specific fatty acid combination your favorite oil is made of. That’s why it is a good idea to change your oil every three months. For example avocado or almond oil after 3 months of using argan oil.
Always see to that you use organic cold pressed oils; these are not stripped off their vitamins, sterols, chlorophyll etc as all processed oils are.
