Moroccanoil NZ | Original Argan Oil Treatment & Haircare

The Argan Oil Brand That Defined a Category

Moroccanoil is credited with popularising argan oil as a mainstream haircare ingredient, and the original Treatment oil remains one of the most recognisable products in professional haircare, identifiable by its signature orange bottle and distinctive scent. What began as a single oil has grown into a full range covering cleansing, styling, colour care and even body and hand products, all built around the same argan oil foundation.

What is in this range

The Original Treatment and Light versions suit different hair thicknesses, while dedicated ranges address frizz control, volume, curl definition and colour protection. Styling extends into heat protection sprays, texturising products and finishing sprays, and the brand's hand cream and body wash range, available in several signature scents, has developed a following well beyond haircare.

Why Moroccanoil remains a category leader

Few ingredients in haircare have become as synonymous with a single brand as argan oil is with Moroccanoil, and the brand has continued to expand its formulations around that core ingredient rather than diluting its identity across unrelated technologies.

Zilion is an official NZ stockist

Every Moroccanoil product here is sourced through official distribution, which matters given how widely counterfeited the Original Treatment in particular has become internationally.

Why customers keep coming back

Many customers discover Moroccanoil through the Original Treatment and gradually build out their routine with the matching shampoo, conditioner and styling products once they experience the shine and manageability the oil delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Original Treatment and Light Treatment?
Original Treatment suits normal to thick hair, while Light Treatment is formulated for fine or lighter hair types that need less oil.

How much Original Treatment should I use per application?
A small amount, roughly the size of a coin, is typically enough for mid-length hair, applied to damp or dry ends.

Is Moroccanoil Treatment suitable for coloured or highlighted hair?
Yes, it is colour-safe and widely used on treated, highlighted and lightened hair.

Can Moroccanoil products be used on curly hair as well as straight hair?
Yes, the Curl Defining Cream and other formulas are specifically suited to curly and wavy hair, alongside general use across hair types.

Does Moroccanoil Treatment need to be washed out or is it a leave-in product?
It is a leave-in treatment applied to damp or dry hair, not intended to be rinsed out.

Is Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo tinted for different hair colours?
Yes, dark and light tone options are available to reduce visible residue on different hair colours.

Can I use Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo daily?
Yes, it is formulated for regular use, while masks and intensive treatments are better suited to weekly use.

Is the Moroccanoil scent artificial or does it come from the argan oil itself?
The signature scent is part of the product's formulation and has become one of the brand's most recognisable features.

Will Moroccanoil products make fine hair greasy?
Using the Light Treatment and applying sparingly helps avoid heaviness on fine hair, which the standard Original formula might otherwise cause.

Can men use Moroccanoil Treatment on beards as well as head hair?
Yes, many customers use a small amount on beards for added softness and shine.

Is Moroccanoil suitable for keratin-treated hair?
Yes, though sulphate-free shampoo options within the range are recommended to help extend keratin treatment results.

How can I tell if a Moroccanoil product I have bought is genuine?
Purchasing through an official stockist like Zilion is the most reliable way to guarantee authenticity, given how frequently the brand is counterfeited.

What is the difference between the Restorative Mask and the High Shine Gloss Mask?
The Restorative Mask focuses on repairing damaged hair, while the High Shine Gloss Mask is formulated primarily to boost shine and softness.

Can I use heat styling tools after applying Moroccanoil Treatment?
Yes, though for full heat protection, a dedicated heat protectant like Perfect Defence is recommended alongside the treatment oil.

Is the Moroccanoil hand cream and body range tested on the same skin types as the hair range?
The body and hand range shares the brand's argan oil focus, formulated specifically for skin rather than hair.

Does Moroccanoil offer travel-size versions of its bestsellers?
Yes, several products, including the Original Treatment, are available in smaller travel-friendly sizes.

Can Moroccanoil be used on chemically relaxed hair?
Yes, the nourishing formulas suit chemically relaxed hair, which often needs extra moisture and shine support.

Is Moroccanoil suitable for sensitive scalps?
The brand does not specifically market a sensitive-scalp line, so those with reactive scalps should patch test new products as a precaution.

What is the best Moroccanoil routine for dry, damaged hair?
Hydrating or Restorative Shampoo and Conditioner, a weekly Restorative Mask, and Original Treatment applied to damp or dry ends.

How does Zilion guarantee these Moroccanoil products are genuine?
Zilion is an official Moroccanoil stockist, sourcing every product directly rather than through resellers, which is particularly important given the brand's high counterfeit rate.
