Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Oil | Our Point Of View
Ingredients Breakdown
Let's delve into the key ingredients that make Fructis Moroccan Sleek so effective:
Argan Oil: The Liquid Gold of Morocco
When it comes to cosmetic oils and hype, argan oil is for sure leading the way. Dubbed as the "liquid gold of Morocco", we have to admit we have some trouble determining why this oil enjoys such a special miracle status.
So, argan oil comes from the kernel of the argan fruit that comes from the argan tree that grows only in Morocco. The tree is slow growing and getting the oil is a hard job. The traditional process is that the ripe argan fruits fall from the tree, then goats eat them up and poop out the seeds. The seeds are collected and smashed with a stone to get the kernels inside.

This part is the hard one as the seeds have extremely hard shells. Once the kernels are obtained, the oil is pressed out from them (the kernels contain about 50% oil). As for skincare, argan oil is loaded with lots of skin goodies (but so are many other plant oils): it contains 80% nourishing and moisturizing unsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic (38-50%), linoleic (28-38%) and palmitic (10-18%).
Thanks to all the above goodness in argan oil, it can greatly nourish and moisturize the skin and hair. It's also claimed to be able to neutralize collagen-damaging free radicals, help reduce scars, and revitalize and improve skin elasticity.
Other Key Ingredients:
- Isododecane: A super commonly used 5 unit long, cyclic structured silicone that is water-thin and does not stay on the skin but evaporates from it (called volatile silicone).
- Dimethicone: A thick, high molecular weight silicone that is usually diluted in another, lighter silicone fluid (like dimethicone or cyclopentasiloxane).
- Fragrance: Exactly what it sounds: nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice.
- Linalool: A super common fragrance ingredient. It’s kind of everywhere - both in plants and in cosmetic products.
- Citronellol: A very common fragrance ingredient with a nice rose-like odor.
- Limonene: A super common and cheap fragrance ingredient.
- Benzyl Alcohol: It's one of those things that help your cosmetics not to go wrong too soon, aka a preservative.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil/Sunflower Seed Oil: The oil coming from the seeds of the carrot, the orange root vegetable we all know and eat regularly.

Allergens and Safety Warnings
Caution: Flammable until dry.
Fragrance and Allergies
If you are someone who likes to know what you put on your face then fragrance is not your best friend - there's no way to know what’s really in it. Also, if your skin is sensitive, fragrance is again not your best friend. It’s the number one cause of contact allergy to cosmetics.
The problem with linalool is, that just like limonene it oxidises on air exposure and becomes allergenic. That’s why a product containing linalool that has been opened for several months is more likely to be allergenic than a fresh one.
As with all fragrance ingredients, citronellol can also cause allergic contact dermatitis and should be avoided if you have perfume allergy.
Oxidized limonene can cause allergic contact dermatitis and counts as a frequent skin sensitizer.
