About the Company

Inspired by the Mediterranean, Moroccanoil comes to life through our iconic turquoise packaging and signature fragrance, for an exotic experience that transports the senses. Our original Moroccanoil Treatment pioneered oil-infused haircare and sparked global interest in argan oil. At the heart of our brand is the stylist community that inspires us to create effective and easy-to-use products. Today, our mission remains unchanged: to pioneer beauty innovations while making a positive impact. We support animal welfare as a cruelty-free brand with our PETA Beauty without Bunnies certification and partnership with the Humane Society. Ocean conservation and sustainability are central to us, including our collaboration with Oceana. As our journey continues, we strive to make a meaningful difference in our communities and around the world.
