Josie Maran Argan Oil Dupe??

I was on the search for another serum and thought I give into the hype with infamous 100% organic argan oil.  It started with all the good reviews I had read about the Josie Maran Argan Oil $47USD/1.7fl oz Buy Here which I thought was super steep for an oil base product. So I decided to do a little snooping around and found Shea Terra Moroccan Argan Oil $24USD/ 2fl oz. Buy Here

Shea Terra


Description 

100% Pure & Natural. Accept no imitations. Are you buying 100% Pure Moroccan Argan Oil for all your hair and skin care needs? For over a decade, Shea Terra Organics has been offering only 100% Pure Moroccan Argan Oil straight from our women's cooperative in Morocco. We NEVER add fragrance, alcohol or dilute the oil with inferior oils as is common practice. 100% Pure Moroccan Argan Oil is loaded with vitamins A & E  and is rich in anti-aging squalene. Shea Terra Organics' cold pressed, 100% Pure Moroccan Argan Oil has an amazing ability to repair skin and provides all day protection against moisture loss.

From what I understand they are pretty much the exact product to me and for half the price. Both companies tried to give back to the community in regards where they have obtain the products from.  I did try a sample size of the Josie Maran $12CAD for 15ml and so far I do like it, I am going to wait till I run out of that and get the Shea Terra one for comparison, but I am going to make a bold statement that they are going to be very similar. The argan oil hype and claims that it is a magical potion and although I doubt it will work wonders on my skin, I do appreciate it is organic and don't think it'll hurt my skin. 

I do prefer the pump that comes with the Shea Terra better because it is just more convenient and from the looks of it both are encase in a sturdy glass bottle.

If anyone has tried Shea Terra Argan Oil, please let me know what you think.

On the website, Angelia Jolie is a fan of Shea Terra which makes me want to try it more; I am a sucker for things like that.
