The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Range - Pakistan (PC: The Body Shop Website)
This range seems very interesting, firstly it has wide vairety of products to choose from, secondly the main ingredient is Organic Argan Oil, TBS says:
"Our precious argan nuts are sourced from the remote Atlas Mountains of Morocco. They are hand-picked, hand-cracked and slowly pressed for the purest, most radiant argan oil."
The oil is rich in essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid), and natural tocopherols; Argan oil is an excellent ingredient for skin care.

What I Think About This Product
Lets come towards my thoughts, I was quite impressed when I first saw this, it comes in a beautiful round metallic jar which keeps the product very efficiently. So, I quite loved its packaging. I have been using this product since 3 weeks and I have seen a visible difference in my lip condition, the balm hydrates very well and stays on for up to good 3 hours (unless you don't disturb your lips like eating etc).
The formula is kind of solid as it contains bees wax and castor oil along with argan oil. It is buttery and creamy, not so oily to spill everywhere. It is alone quite enough to moisturize and hydrate your lips unless you have serious dryness or eczema.It has no color but it has sweet smell which is pleasant and does not bother me at all. However, it tastes sweet which might bother other people when comes in contact with tongue.
I would suggest to use it as a lipstick base to hydrate your lips, but make sure to exfoliate your lips because it wont do anything for any dry patches on your lips instantly.Overall it is a great product and quantity is well enough to last whole winters. It is very travel friendly so you can carry it in your purse whenever you go outside.
