  • Deeply moisturizing argan oil formulas
  • Fast-absorbing, non-greasy textures

  • Gentle, sensitive-skin friendly products
  • Occasionally heavy, thick creams
  • Fragrances fade relatively quickly
  • Overly sweet vanilla fragrance

Josie Maran earns strong reviews for delivering effective, deeply hydrating argan‑oil body care and sunscreens that leave skin soft, glowy, and comfortable, but the brand isn’t flawless. Fans praise Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter (especially Topless Tangerine), body scrubs, and mineral SPFs for clean formulas, fast absorption, and sustainable refills, while critiques note occasional heavy or too‑thick textures, short‑lived fragrances, an overly sweet vanilla note, and prior packaging leakage.

  • This body scrub from Josie Maran is incredible. Everyone in my family loves this brand. We all tried this scrub, and it made our skin feel so good. The tangerine smelled wonderful with the grapefruit. I only needed a small amount, and it takes off the dead skin and left my skin soft. I don't have itchy skin anymore either. I love it and want to buy a larger size soon. I think the argan oil is why I love it so much. I just massaged this on my damp skin and rinsed well.

  • I have loved every Josie Maran product I have tried. I love their body scrub and body butter and love that they created sustainable packaging and refills! I am a huge fan of the Josie Maran SPF 33 Get Even Sun Milk and use it every morning! The products are clean, smell good, and work well!

  • The body scrub and butter are truly incredible. I have tried a fair number of body scrubs and this one is the best by far! And the packaging is beautiful + conscious of the environment.

  • I’ve been using body lotion from Josie for years now. It’s definitely a favorite of mine! It’s a rich texture & makes the skin extra soft & smooth. The different scents are nice as well!

  • I love almost every Josie Maran product I've tried. Except for the "face cream with sunscreen," I find my skin responds so well to this line. Whether I'm rushing out the door ans only have time to slap on the Josie Maran light oil, I see an immediate coming to life in my skin regardless of how fatigued I am. I love how the light version soaks into the skin without drowning it like some other very moisturizing products do.

  • I have sensitive, dehydrated dry skin, but I am a ✨well-moisturized✨ girly thanks to a blend of Japanese and specific Josie Maran's products. Her argan oil works wonders for me when I'm in especially dry environments (cold office AC or mountain/desert environments). I've been using the 'Argan Infinity Cream Intensive Creamy Oil' for years and it's one of my favorite product to bring when traveling, as you can use it all over your face and body. The only drawback was the increasing leakage with each repurchase. It does look like they've completed rebranded their look and packaging with new refillable options. I just hope the rebrand comes with better, leak-resistant packaging across the board.

  • I do a lot of DIY skincare like lotions and scrubs, but when I do buy moisturizer, I love getting basically any scent of the Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter. Also, the Protect and Perfect mineral SPF is amaaaazing. I'll never be without it.

  • I have used these products off and on for years. My sensitive acne prone skin tolerates argan oil really well. When nothing else seems to hydrate, this product line can really revive my skin and get it feeling healthy again. The products also last a long time because a little bit goes a long way.

  • I love the JM products. My sister gave me a whole gift set, which was awesome. It had like a whipped lotion, some Aragon oil, Perfume spray and a few other things that I really liked . they all smell amazing. My only thing is at the scent doesn’t last very long.

  • NUMBER 1. I used this product when the packaging was going through some changes. I will always recommend this brand because it helped ease my skin after Glow Recipe ravaged my face. I didn't notice any plumping at the time, but to be honest, that's not what I was looking for. I was looking for deep hydration without irritating my skin further. This moisturizer every other day paired with a minimal of Aquaphor to really lock it in, is a goldmine. If you struggle with oily skin, I don't recommend.

  • Love their product scent. The body butter is so light weight and easily adsorbed

  • I've used Josie's products for over 10 years now. I was hesitant at first putting oil on combo skin?? Wouldn't it make my face appear more oily than it was? No! My skin soaked it up in seconds and it also helped with my breakouts. I love the pure products that this brand offers. I always get compliments on my skin especially from friends who knew me before I started using this product. Since then several of my friends/family have purchased this pure organ oil including my father. It's only 1 ingredient with the Argan Oil, cruelty free and ethically sourced. I look years younger with the help of Josie Maran Argan Oil
