Josie Maran reviews and discussion

I wasn't a fan of this one. It's trying for a vanilla vibe, but it smells more like artificial candy vanilla rather than a real, warm vanilla bean or rich gourmand. Instead of that cozy, edible sweetness you'd expect from a vanilla fragrance, it comes off kinda synthetic and a bit flat. Doesn't have that comforting, mouth-watering gourmand quality more like a cheap air freshener vibe. I am not sure if the off scent it's due to the natural ingredients. It reminds me of caramel popcorn in those pre-filled bins at Christmas time. I like that they used natural ingredients and skincare friendly ingredients good for your hair and body. It comes out in a fine mist. It gives a lighter coverage and dissipates somewhat quickly within a few hours.

Josie Maran's Pink Algae Pro-Retinol Body Butter delivers the most hydration. It's a super thick body butter that takes a bit of elbow grease to rub in but as soon as you do, it's totally worth it. It's instantly moisturizing and makes my very dry skin feel good. There really isn't a scent. The jar is large and will last me a long time.

I loved trying Josie Maran’s Body Butter in Topless Tangerine. It’s thick, rich, and goes on smoothly, especially right after a shower when your skin is freshly towel-dried. The smell is nice, a refreshing mix of tangerine and pink grapefruit. I would prefer if it was a bit stronger than it is, but overall like it!

I hate how much better this product worked compared to my drugstore lotion. I flip flop on whether body care products need to be expensive and this one that proved itself into being a mainstay in self care routine. You need less body butter because it works so well and after a full day of flying I'm crusty nor dusty (if you know, you know). I love that it's refillable and the topless tangerine scent is my version of a happy day in a bottle.

I love how nourishing the products feel and the argan oil gives my skin a healthy glow. Sometimes I wish there was more coverage or longer wear but the clean ingredients make me feel good about using them. Not sure if worth money

Josie Maran Golden Hour fragrance mist instantly reminds me of summer. It has a light white musk and santal scent that feels warm and easy to wear, especially for warmer months. I can definitely see myself reaching for it more in the summer. I'm giving it three stars because the spray is very aggressive, it doesn't mist evenly and releases too much product at once. Because of that, it doesn't absorb into my skin right away and I have to work it in. The scent also doesn't last very long, so I find myself reapplying after a few hours.

I love Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil. It’s high quality and so moisturizing. It has a light natural scent and isn’t too thick but think enough for proper hydration. You can use it on your skin, hair, nails, face, lips, anywhere you need hydration and moisture. It’s a quality oil and with the price. One bottle will last you a while.

Rich and creamy, but absorbs fast with no greasy residue. My skin feels soft all day, and the scent is cozy without being too strong (close to real vanilla). A great option if you like nourishing, clean body care.

Super nourishing and rich in texture — perfect for dry, sensitive skin types. I love that it’s fragrance-free, which makes it safe for reactive skin. However, it’s a bit heavy for daytime or oily skin, and the price is on the higher end compared to other body creams. 🤍🤍

This moisturizer feels rich at first but absorbs into my skin exceptionally well. It leaves my face soft, smooth, and hydrated with no greasy residue. It’s nourishing without feeling heavy, and works great in both my morning and night routine. After a few weeks, I noticed a more even texture and subtle smoothing. I haven’t had any irritation or dryness, which is rare for me with retinol-based products. This one feels gentle but still delivers visible results. It’s one of the few products I actually look forward to using! My skin just feels better every time I reach for it.

Wow! this body scrub make your skin unbelievably glowy! It is enriched with Argan Oil which is the one key ingredient to this product that makes your skin so beautiful. This is the perfect product if you’re going out and want to have a nice glowy and healthy-looking skin or a girly pamper night to feel more confident! I wouldn’t suggest using this body scrub before your shaving routine because the oil will kill your razor, it’s better to use it as a final touch after shaving for better results! It even has a refillable glass jar, you just need a refill and fill it up. love that idea

I used a product from Josie Maran and absolutely loved it. It felt so nourishing and made my skin glow without feeling heavy or greasy. Everything about it just worked perfectly for me—definitely a new favorite.

I tried the argan oil. It was a little too oily for me. I have combo skin and sometimes have acne. So this might be great for people with dry skin!

The bag is cute for on-the-go, especially if you travel a lot, and don't have to worry about tsa. When applied to the skin it did do a light exfoliate and my dry skin looked soft after. I have skin, when you look up close that looks like snake lines a little. In my opinion, you can never go wrong with the scent of vanilla and the scrub did a perfect job of making me think I had a vanilla ice cream cone in my hand when applying the sugar balm to my legs.

Really lovely cream brand. I'm not usually into the "whipped" cream feel, but Jose Maran's formulation was a pleasant surprise. If I had one nit about this brand - it's the fragrance. While lovely, they are fairly strong and have a sweet undertone that can get a tiny bit cloying. The counterpoint to the smell is that you don't have to use a massive amount to get moisturized for the day— great for someone like me who suffers from perpetual dry-skin year round,

I am obsessed with the Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in Topless Tangerine. This air-whipped body moisturizer has argan oil that rapidly soaks into your skin, delivering intense, long-lasting hydration. Your skin is left with a velvety soft finish. The scent can best be described as a sparkly circus with key notes of pixie tangerine and pink grapefruit. Did I mention that this product is part of an eco-friendly refill system? This is my new favorite moisturizer. I highly recommend you give it a try for yourself! You won’t be disappointed.

I love this brand, the tinted sunscreen is amazing, it doesn't dry out my skin, or gather in creases and wrinkles. Compared to the Elta tinted sunscreen, it is much less orangey and cakey. The body butter is so good! Tried the sample for topless tangerine scent, my skin felt smooth until the next day afternoon! Immediately went back and bought some more scents to try out. I've been using the other sunscreen, the 33 SPF one, as well, but the tinted one is hands down one of the better ones I've seen on the market. Even after a sweaty yoga class, I still looked great.

I've used the daily moisturizer and really liked it. It's tinted and gives the skin a nice glow. It's a good broad spectrum mineral sunscreen, so it protects against both UVB and UVA rays. It's a little thick which is the downside of a mineral sunscreen but if the texture doesn't bother you and doesn't feel too heavy then this might be a good choice for you.

I didn't find the whipped body butter very moisturizing. It absorbs quickly and comes in a variety of scents which is great, but I have dry skin and need more moisture. I've tried her argan products in the past and have enjoyed them.

I recently tried Josie Maran’s Topless Tangerine Body Butter, and I’m absolutely in love! This product deserves every bit of its five-star rating. The texture is wonderfully creamy and luxurious, and it melts into the skin beautifully without any greasiness. The scent is divine—fresh and invigorating, with just the right amount of citrus to brighten my day. What truly sets this body butter apart for me is how deeply moisturizing it is. My skin feels incredibly soft and hydrated for hours after application. I’ve used it on everything from dry elbows to all-over body care, and it works like a charm every time. I also want to highlight the brand's commitment to sustainability. The packaging is eco-friendly, which makes me feel even better about my purchase. It’s great to support a company that prioritizes both quality and environmental responsibility. Overall, I highly recommend Josie Maran’s Topless Tangerine Body Butter. It’s a fantastic product that combines effective hydration with a delightful scent and sustainable packaging. Five stars without a doubt!
