Beautiful blend of rich natural oils with a top component of argan oil
It comes in a small tin looking like furniture polish. LOL, seriously this is a good move and reminds me of top-class olive oil that also comes in metal cans. This keeps the oil in a dark place, without any plastics contamination, and prevents sunlight oxidising and degrading the nutrients within.On opening the oil can, there is a small plastic insert with a small pouring hole to allow small volumes to be poured out. The oil is light, slightly less viscous than olive oil, but has the most complex and beautiful scent. I immediately looked at the ingredients and saw that the oil is in fact a combination of 18 different naturally sourced oils, as the following list indicates.Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil*, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil*, Oryza Sativa Bran Oil*, Passiflora Edulis (Maracuja) Seed Oil*, Carapa Guaianensis (Andiroba) Seed Oil*, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil*, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil*, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil*, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil*, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Oil*, Mentha Arvensis (Peppermint) Herb Oil*, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil*, Linalool*, Limonene*, Citronellol*, Geraniol*, Citral*. *Natural OriginPercentages of ingredients are conventionally listed in order of most-to-least amount, so I'm concluding that Argan oil is the largest ingredient by volume. The scent is really clean and complex, probably due to the blending process and combination of other aromatic oils. I would personally welcome using this as a massage therapeutic blend, especially for small areas like hands and face. If you want to do a top-notch Indian head massage, this oil would also be a beautifully uplifting, and exotic blend to use.The oil penetrates, although It never seems to completely disappear into the skin, but leaves the hands and skin feeling soft, smooth and nourished. I am personally going to decant the oil in small batches into a pipette bottle for easier application and less possible waste. Yes, some does dribble down the opening after pouring and this stuff is too precious to waste.Argan oil has a variety of benefits some are listed here:Protects from sun damage. ...Moisturizes skin. ...Treats a number of skin conditions. ...Treats acne. ...Heals skin infections. ...Improves wound healing. ...Soothes atopic dermatitis. ...Has anti-aging effects.IT works because it's rich in essential nutrients, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. some research indicates that argan oil may help prevent chronic illnesses, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. It may also treat a variety of skin conditions.When I've been working out in the sun, I often get dry skin, it's part of the UV damage sunlight produces. This oil is a wonderful tonic as an after-sun treatment.If you wonder why this product is so expensive your asking the wrong question ... maybe you should be looking into why others are so cheap? Highly recommended for those who want the best quality and benefits from argan oil in a superb skin and hair friendly blend. Highly recommended.

great as a body oil, not so good for hair
Great packaging, plastic free, eco friendly and made from metal. Oil itself is full of nourishing ingredients like argan, maracuja or andriroba. It is rich and moisturising. It work really well on my dry skin, gives me instant nourishing and moisture but absorbs fast without greasy feeling. Unfortunately for my hair it works terrible. I tried use it for wet and dried hair and in both cases my hair looks awfully greasy. And I use really tiny amount of product and still it didnt worked so well for me.Besides that this oil is in my opinion extremely expensive for just 100ml. I expected much better product for that price.

Love the mini petrol can container, but this product is really expensive
I've seen this advertised on a shopping channel, and from what I can remember it was a little cheaper than it is here.Ingredients:- Argan Kernel Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa Bran Oil, Maracuja Seed Oil, Andiroba Seed Oil, Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Lavender Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil, Chamomile Flower Oil, Peppermint Herb Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Linalool, Limonene, Citronellol, Geraniol, Citral. Natural Origin 90%, Plastic-free, 100% Natural, Vegan & Cruelty free.I'm familiar with a lot of these ingredients, but not all, because they are often included in similar products to this, and many of them are considerably cheaper.This is a dry oil treatment, and can be used in place of your normal moisturiser, or you can add a little to your moisturiser. It can also be applied to wet, or dry skin, and it hydrates, and softens really well, without making your face oily.You can also apply to your hair, either dry, where it can be used to help tame frizz, and flyaway hair, or on towel dried hair prior to blow drying, where it gives heat protection, and also acts as a good leave in conditioner. It is also ideal if you suffer from split ends, and helps protect against further damage.This is a very small 100ml tin, and if you use it regularly, it really isn't going to last very long. It smells lovely, and the petrol can packaging is excellent, but I do think the price is likely to put a lot of people off.It's a shame because this product also has vegan, and cruelty free credentials, as well as doing exactly what it is supposed to. Maybe if they sold it in larger tins it would bring the price down, but £30 for 100ml is pricey.

Works very well on hair (adds shine and moisture).
This is advertised as an all-over-your-body product but I personally have found it to work very well on my hair. I don't use products like this on my skin regularly and I feel I would burn through very quickly if I did so as it is a small can.The packaging is pretty interesting and eye-catching but what's inside is what matters. I have been using this product as a leave-in conditioner/oil and it works very, very well. My hair tends to get very dry and frizzy, especially on the ends. This products has helped make all of my hair look sleek, moisturised and shiny which is great.I find it very easy to dispense and you don't need too much of it to get your hair done. If you use it this way, it will last a long while (which is a good thing as this isn't exactly cheap).

Lovely For Hair And Skin
This is a lovely oil that can be used for hair and skin. I applied it on my hair before blow drying and it didn’t leave any greasy or oily feeling on my dry hair. I have also tried to apply this hair oil to my dry hair and the result was also nice.I also tried this oil on my skin and it made it very glowing! It’s nice for some occasions and I will continue using this oil in the future. My skin felt moist and smooth and I didn’t get any irritations or allergic reactions.

Soft fragrance
Product provides good quality coverage for dry hair and skin. The only two issues for me is the price and small size amount. This product is too expensive for the amount given, but the quality met my expectations. Due to the price I will not purchase again unless pricing decreases.

No safety measures on the can
This hair oil comes in a little can with no safety measures. The can didn't feel full but you can't see inside the can because the opening is covered with a piece of plastic to help slow the pouring if the oil. I won't buy this again. The oil is heavy and ways my hair down. I think this is better as a body oil.

Light, fragrant dry oil, effective for my dry skin & hair w/no greasy feeling + great container...
This is a review for two products from We Are Paradoxx -- first, the Super Fuel Face, Hair & Body Oil and then the Moisture Shampoo.Super Fuel:This is an excellent oil that works great for my skin and hair -- I've tried other oils that contain argan oil that have been too thick and heavy, but this is light-weight. It smells wonderful, too. I tried it on my hands first and it goes on easily and since it is a dry oil, it is absorbed very quickly leaving no greasy feeling or residue. My hands felt very soft and smooth and my nails looked great. I use it often on my hands and elbows. My skin is very dry so this will be great to use after my shower, especially on my arms and legs. It also does wonders for my hair -- I use just the tiniest bit since my long hair is baby fine and I don't want to weigh it down or make it look flat and greasy. It does that on its own in practically no time at all. I apply it as directed, from about mid-length to the ends, where it is very dry and brittle and it adds shine and body and really smooths those straw-like ends. I wash my hair every day and I use this two or three times a week after a shampoo -- the effects seem to last through the days I don't apply, which is unexpected and I'm very happy about. I use a heavier application once in a while as sort of a conditioning treatment before shampooing. I haven't tried it on my face yet. The vintage-style can the oil is contained in is just so cute and it reminds me of all of the products that used to be packaged this way back in the day. It has a plastic insert that minimizes the opening so I can shake out just a drop or two. I like that it is recyclable, but I will be keeping it once I've used up all of the oil. Which will probably be a while because the can contains a generous 3.38 ounces and I only need a few drops at a time. I'm very happy to have found this oil and I think the $40.00 price tag seems high at the outset, but is one of those expenditures that is quite reasonable considering the quantity and quality of the product.I like the shampoo and the aluminum container is charming. I like that it can be easily recycled. The problem is that the product arrived in a plastic bag with no other protection and was pretty banged up and dented. Some reviewers mentioned that the pump was damaged or missing entirely, but I did not have that experience. The shampoo smells really nice, provides a moderate amount of lather and leaves my hair looking and feeling smooth and shiny. It isn't drying and it doesn't leave my hair full of tangles either. I have exactly the type of hair specified in the product description -- dry, brittle and damaged. It does help. However, it is very pricey at $22.00 for a little over eight ounces, and I can't say that it does anything that far less expensive shampoos do just as well. The oil is great and I rated it at five stars; I would say that this shampoo is more of a four star product for me...

Good, but not great
I am somewhat disappointed by this product. I expected more quality than baby oil, but that's what my daughter equates it to. The first problem is the packaging. Everything comes with some sort of safety measures, but not this! No plastic coating over the top, no security seal or anything. You literally can take it out and use it. I was too worried about the lack of safety measures because of the product. I suspect that people would be concerned if they bought this is a store. It doesn't arrive full. It is noticeable as soon as you pick it up. It smells odd. It is complicated and not in a good way to me. I think that it smells like castor oil, but there is none in it. The scent isn't too bad since it doesn't last for long. It's a great blend of quality oils, but they are not better than many cheaper products. The oil is thin like mineral oil. I don't find it as moisturizing as regular extra virgin coconut oil and they both be used for the same things. If you look at the pictures of how the model look before and after, it just looks like they just made her look greasy in a few spots. Her hair even looks drier in the "after" picture. Basically, I don't see this as a top quality moisturizer. I plan to keep using it and I will update my review if I see an improvement in my ultra dry skin and hair.

Smells Terrible
I ordered a few products by Paradoxx and I'm very sorry I did, as the smell is repulsive. No way would I apply any of them to my body or hair. They have some sort of weird rancid herbal fragrance that I find very off-putting.The packaging, however is very cute, and something I'd display, maybe in a guest bathroom. But every one arrived totally dented and unusable for that purpose. A total fail on all accounts.
