Direct Defence Contracting & Procurement

Moroccanoil’s Israeli consumer-site terms identify the operator as Moroccan Oil Israel Ltd., Israeli company no. 514031053, at 1 Moshe Levi Street, Rishon Lezion 1.

Moroccan Oil Israel Limited is recorded as the sole person with significant control of Moroccanoil UK Limited, holding 75% or more of that company’s shares 2.

No public evidence identified of Moroccanoil or its identified group entities receiving contracts from the Israeli Ministry of Defense, IDF, Israel Prison Service, Border Police, or another Israeli security body.

SIBAT’s 2018–19 directory states that listed companies had Ministry of Defense approval, as of January 2018, to offer defence products or services; the reviewed directory did not identify Moroccanoil or a Moroccanoil defence-product entry 3.

No public evidence identified of a Moroccanoil defence exhibition listing, defence-sector memorandum, security-sector press release, or joint venture with an Israeli state-security entity.

Dual-Use Products & Tactical Variants

Moroccanoil publicly markets professional hair colour, shampoos, conditioners, treatments, and colour-care products 4, 5.

A 2010 National Arbitration Forum decision described the complainant group as producing and distributing hair-care products including conditioners, shampoos, curl creams, hydrating creams, masques, and styling or finishing oils 6.

The reviewed product descriptions concern consumer and professional cosmetics rather than tactical, ruggedised, or military-specified products 4, 5.

No public evidence identified of militarised product variants, purpose-built sales to Israeli security end-users, military end-user certificates, or defence-related export-control decisions involving Moroccanoil.

Heavy Machinery, Construction & Infrastructure

Moroccanoil’s identified public product categories are haircare, body care, fine fragrance, and salon-oriented hair products 4, 5, 7.

No public evidence identified of Moroccanoil equipment, vehicles, heavy machinery, construction services, engineering work, or infrastructure contracts connected to settlements, the separation barrier, checkpoints, military installations, or demolitions in occupied territory.

An unverified press allegation concerning production in occupied Palestinian territory was not treated as a finding because the research memo did not identify a primary corporate, regulatory, court, or documented-investigation source substantiating the asserted site or activity.

Supply Chain Integration with Defence Primes

The available public descriptions identify Moroccanoil’s business as cosmetics and hair-care production and distribution 4, 5, 6.

No public evidence identified of Moroccanoil supplying components, raw materials, manufacturing services, or technology to Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael, IMI/Elbit Land, or another Israeli defence prime.

No public evidence identified of co-production, licensed military manufacturing, technology transfer, or joint development between Moroccanoil and an Israeli defence manufacturer.

Logistical Sustainment & Base Services

Moroccanoil’s public materials describe consumer beauty and professional salon product lines rather than transport, fuel, port, telecommunications, facilities, or base-support operations 4, 5, 7.

No public evidence identified of Moroccanoil providing catering, freight, transport, fuel, facilities, telecommunications, port-handling, or other logistical support to Israeli military or security installations or military cargo.

Munitions, Weapons Systems & Strategic Platforms

SIBAT’s historical directory explains that individual defence transactions require export licences, but it does not establish that Moroccanoil applied for, received, or used such a licence 3.

No public evidence identified of Moroccanoil manufacturing or supplying weapons, munitions, explosives, precursor materials, strategic platforms, missile-defence components, targeting systems, guidance electronics, fire-control systems, radar, propulsion, or other critical military subsystems.

No public evidence identified of a Moroccanoil relationship to military procurement for weapons systems or strategic platforms.

Export Licensing, Regulatory & Legal History

No public evidence identified of a granted, refused, suspended, or revoked export licence for Moroccanoil products to Israeli military or security end-users.

No public evidence identified of an arms-export, sanctions, or embargo enforcement action against Moroccanoil.

Moroccanoil’s website terms state that its website is owned and operated by Moroccanoil Israel, Ltd. or its affiliates or subsidiaries 8.

Moroccanoil’s privacy policy identifies Moroccanoil Israel and Moroccanoil Canada as affiliated companies 9.

The 2010 National Arbitration Forum decision recorded that Moroccanoil, Inc., Moroccanoil Israel Ltd, 3903150 Canada Inc. doing business as Moroccanoil, and Ofer Tal were related entities, and recorded Ofer Tal as sole shareholder of each at that time 6.

That 2010 ownership finding does not establish the current ownership chain, ultimate beneficial ownership, equity percentages, or whether Ofer Tal remains a controlling shareholder 6.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Documented Investigations

OHCHR announced an update to its database of businesses involved in Israeli settlements on 26 September 2025 10.

The research memo’s supplied document-scoped pre-scan found no Moroccanoil mention in the specified local copies of the 2025 Albanese report, 2023 and 2025 OHCHR settlement-database materials, PAX’s June 2024 report, Al-Haq’s July 2024 report, and other enumerated reports; this does not establish absence from all NGO or UN materials 10.

No public evidence identified in the reviewed sources of an NGO or academic investigation substantiating a Moroccanoil military, security, or dual-use supply relationship with the Israeli state.

No public evidence identified in the reviewed sources of a company response, contract termination, end-use-monitoring policy, or policy statement specifically addressing alleged defence-supply activity.

Moroccanoil Israel Ltd is described in a registry-derived secondary record as an active Israeli private company incorporated on 20 September 2007, though the underlying Israeli Registrar extract was not obtained for the research memo 11.

Moroccanoil UK Limited is recorded as active by Companies House and was incorporated on 16 March 2011 12.

Moroccanoil Japan identifies MOROCCANOIL JAPAN CO., Ltd. as established on 14 February 2012 and selling Moroccanoil products in Japan 13.
