For adults (including older teens), argan kernel oil is usually safe to put on the skin. It has a low risk for cancer, reproductive harm, or causing immune problems, based on available reviews and studies.
Use argan oil as a moisturizer or skin oil as directed. If you have very sensitive skin, try a small patch test on the forearm and wait 24–48 hours to check for a reaction before using it widely. Avoid applying it to broken or infected skin and keep it away from the eyes. Stop use and rinse with water if you notice redness, itching, swelling or burning.
Watch for skin irritation or an allergic reaction (source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review). Evidence about irritation is limited, so if you have reactive skin, be extra cautious. Also note that some product verification programs restrict use of this ingredient unless a company provides supporting safety information (source: product verification guidance). If you have a known nut allergy and are concerned, consult your doctor before use.
