As so many of you asked us if we can provide more information around Cacay Oil, we decided to start a series. The objective of the series is to outline some of the major differences when it comes to some of the most popular ingredients that you are hearing about at the moment in the beauty industry. Or referred to as the superfood and must-have ingredients.
In the first series, we will be looking at Cacay Oil vs Argan Oil and compare those two oils. To help you find out which is the best oil for your needs.
Introduction: Cacay Oil vs Argan Oil
Cacay is Amazon’s best kept secret. Cacay Oil is still a very unknown oil in the industry. Even though it is starting to become known among some beauty bloggers, experts. Overall, in comparison to some others such as Argan, Marula, and other beautiful oils that is almost in everyone’s beauty shelf.
So let’s get started.
Linoleic Acid: Cacay Oil vs Argan Oil
Cacay is a miracle oil as it is high in Linoleic Acid (Omega 6). Cacay Oil can contain more than 70% of Linoleic acid. You can review the results of our Oil on our Green Science page. Due to its high level of Linoleic Acid, it makes it one of the best oils for all types of skin including blemish prone skin or people that suffer from acne. Due to recent studies, it has been identified the reason why some suffer from blemish or acne is due to their deficiency in linoleic acid which helps to reduce inflammation and decongest pores. Thus, Cacay Oil being extremely high in Linoleic Acid is suitable for all skin types. In comparison to Argan, Argan Oil has around 30% – 40%, Cacay is much higher. Each of our batches gets tested so that we can ensure that Linoleic acid remains high.
Oleic Acid: Cacay Oils vs Argan Oil
Most people prone to breakouts are actually lacking Linoleic Acid in their sebum, the skin’s natural oils, and instead have an overabundance of Oleic Acid, a Omega-9 fatty acid that helps the skin lock in and retain moisture but can easily get trapped in pores when not properly balanced with Linoleic Acid. Oleic Acid is quite rich, often leading to excess oil for people with acne-prone skin, Linoleic Acid is much thinner and lighter, and therefore suitable for those with oily/acne-prone skin. Oleic Acid (Omega 9) can be found in Argan in high-levels around 40%-50%, in comparison to Cacay, where it is around 10%-14%. If you tend to have normal to dry skin, you can use oils rich in Oleic acid. However, if you tend to have combination to oily skin, you should consider oils are high in Linoleic Acid such as our Cacay Oil.
Vitamin E: Cacay Oil vs Argan Oil
Both oils, Cacay and Argan Oil are rich in Vitamin E. The four tocopherols—alpha, beta, gamma, delta—are the most common forms of vitamin E. Each tocopherol contains unique benefits that allow our skin to effectively retain moisture and protect itself against environmental pollution.When looking at Vitamin E, you can see the results of our tests below on the left. And we found some generic results of Argan on the right. Overall, Cacay and Argan are not hugely different apart from Cacay containing higher levels of alpha-tocopherol and we couldn’t outline any beta-tocopherol in Cacay while Argan Oil shows traces.
| Cacay Oil | Argan Oil | |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin E (Tocopherol) | ||
| alpha-tocopherol | 16.06% | 4.0 – 9.0 % |
| beta-tocopherol | – | 0.1 – 0.3 % |
| gamma-tocopherol | 76.45% | 80 – 90 % |
| delta-tocopherol | 7.48% | 5.0 – 10.2 % |
Alpha (α) Tocopherol
Alpha (α) — Thanks to its easy absorption, permeating both the epidermis and the dermis, alpha-tocopherol is the most popular form of vitamin E in skin care products. Soothing and moisturizing, alpha-tocopherol helps protect against the harmful effects of UV rays while fighting free radicals. Some studies also show that it blocks the enzymes that break down elastin—a powerful protein that contributes to our skin’s youthfulness and elasticity. Alpha-tocopherol is often used in eye creams, moisturizing hair products, and anti-aging products.

Revenues from the global market for argan oil are estimated to exceed US$ 6,000 Mn by 2022-end. And it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.03% during the period 2018-2022.
