Argan Oil Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Your EHS and receiving teams need a current safety data sheet before argan oil arrives on site. This page shows what an argan oil SDS covers under OSHA’s 16-section format, what to check in each section, and how to request the SDS for our argan oil.

Request the SDS together with the specification sheet and example COA.

The OSHA 16-section format

Under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200, Appendix D), a safety data sheet uses sixteen sections in a fixed order. Sections 1–11 and 16 carry mandatory content; Sections 12–15 are part of the harmonised GHS layout, but OSHA does not enforce their content because other agencies regulate those topics.

Our SDS for argan oil follows this structure. Classification, identifiers and values are those stated on the SDS for the grade you receive — we do not publish them here, so your team always works from the controlled document.

What each section should tell you about argan oil

SDS section	What to look for
1. Identification	Product name and grade, supplier contact, recommended use (e.g. cosmetic ingredient).
2. Hazard(s) identification	The supplier’s GHS classification and label elements, or a statement that the product is not classified.
3. Composition	INCI name Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil and the CAS number(s) the supplier uses — 223747-87-3 and/or 299184-75-1.
4. First-aid measures	Eye, skin, inhalation and ingestion guidance.
5. Fire-fighting measures	Suitable extinguishing media and combustion hazards for a vegetable oil.
6. Accidental release	Spill containment and clean-up — relevant for drums and IBC totes on your dock.
7. Handling and storage	Storage temperature, light and container guidance; compare with the specification sheet.
8. Exposure controls / PPE	Personal protective equipment for decanting and production.
9. Physical and chemical properties	Appearance, odour, density, flash point and other properties for your safety file.
10. Stability and reactivity	Conditions to avoid (heat, light, oxidisers) and incompatible materials.
11. Toxicological information	Available toxicological data or a statement of what is not available.
12–15. Ecological, disposal, transport, regulatory	GHS sections OSHA does not enforce; transport (14) matters to your freight forwarder.
16. Other information	Date of preparation or last revision — check it is current.

FAQ

Procurement questions

Is an MSDS the same as an SDS?

MSDS is the older name. Current U.S. practice under OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard uses the 16-section SDS format described on this page.

Can I download your argan oil SDS?

The SDS is sent on request so you receive the controlled version for the grade you are evaluating. Use the technical documents request form.

Which CAS number is on your argan oil SDS?

The CAS number(s) for our argan oil are stated in Section 3 of the applicable SDS. Industry-wide, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil is listed under 223747-87-3 and 299184-75-1.
