| Thanks for the link - that looks very interesting. I use emu oil as my moisturiser so I am used to the idea of putting oil on my face. I must try this out. |

| Please read the information posted on the QVC Beauty Board and the MUA Skin Board before ordering from Androcco. There is a lot of shilling going on and more disturbing, this person has scammed others before with other ventures she promoted. BUYER BEWARE |

Can you post a link please?
I do like their cleansing oil, but their customer service still stinks. Cannot get anyone to answer an email from me ever. In a month when I finally receive my order that will be my last order placed with Androcco. Way too slow in shipping, and extremely poor customer service. |

Yes please, I have been considering the Argan oil from the site, but I would like to see those comments!
TIA |

Your experience mirrors the experience of many who purchased. There is more info in the MUA post about the legal problems with this scammer
Please note that the outside company that montitors QVC's BB is still removing threads that the scammer reports, thus eliminanting all record of what went on. The post on MUA should remain for many years. |

Thanks fmvalentina,
There are plenty of reliable places to purchase oils from I am already turned off to Androcco between Riley's experience and your post! I will read up on the links you posted. 
Thanks again! |

Dark Moon,
I posted some links for you and anyone who is interested. I hope you keep getting the word out. These products could be dangerous as no one knows how they are produced or where. I would also not want this person to have my name and address, even if you go through Paypal.
For those that would like a refund, call Paypal (google their 800 number) and they should stand behind the claim if you never received the product.
Unfortunately, the rules here on EDS allow scammers to keep commenting on different threads, but all but 1 of my warnings were removed. I hope those of you who are regulars read through some of the links I posted and warn other unsuspecting buyers when you see the products being promoted here. |

Thanks, DarkMoon.
If you are a regular user of this forum, please warn other members when you see promoting of these products. MUA will not remove the thread I linked so there will be a permanent record on that site. |

Absolutely fmvalentina,
I am around pretty much daily and will add this to my watched list, that way I can link to this thread for anyone considering Androcco! The links you provided are very disturbing and helpful! |

One more thing...
Androcco claims they are using Fair Trade Argan Oil.
1. there are so many lies associated with this owner and the company, I would not trust that this is true.
2. there are many other more well known suppliers of Argan Oil who are not Fair Trade, but along comes Androcco and they are?
3. Deciding to use Argan Oil that is not Fair Trade is a personal decision, but I wouldn't trust a company and owner that has been caught in one scam after another and one lie after another to pay more for Fair Trade products. |

fmvalentina,
I buy most oils and butters from Mountain Rose Herbs and they have been around for ages. They list full disclosure on all their products which is very important to me. They are very ethical in their business practices! I would rather pay a bit more and know what I am getting and how and where it's coming from! |

Now that the truth is out about Androcco and the person behind this company I will never buy from there again.
She is one shady character.
I'll find another source for Bioferment and Argan oil. |

I was thinking about the Argan oil and Mirage, but was waiting to see if others who had issues with service in the past had better luck on subsequent orders. Now not risking it either keli!
You might email John at Bulkactives, as DragoN found great prices through him on SKB!
I think I may have to just cough up more $'s for a reliable source on the Argan oil! |

It is a real shame, as I like the Androcco cleansing oil.
I am pretty sure Lotioncrafters sells the lemon peel bioferment, and Nanci at NCN does, as well. |

BTW I found it by doing a product search, it came up under carrier oils but I didn't find it when I looked for it under carrier oils?   |

Thanks, DM. I would love to find a place that sells a cleansing oil with a rinsing agent pre-made, but haven't had time to look yet. |

Yep, The only one I ever used with a rinsing agent was DHC. Now I use a straight oil mix to do OCM. |

I used the DHC, but I am not thrilled with it. I am going to try to check personal formulators and some other places to see if they have anything like this. |
