CertificationsB Lab's own B Corp directory lists Josie Maran Cosmetics, LLC as Certified Since June 2025, headquartered in California, industry Personal care products, sector Wholesale/Retail, operating in Canada and the United States. This entry was read from an archived copy of bcorporation.net, since the live directory blocks automated search. PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies list separately carries Josie Maran Cosmetics as cruelty free. The brand does not appear in Leaping Bunny US's full current register of 2,354 certified companies, nor in COSMOS's certified products company list.

Wrong claims vs the source

Claims made for this brand that could not be confirmed in a certifier's own register. A brand website is a claim, not a source.

The brand names its core product '100% Pure Organic Argan Oil' and its sustainability page describes 'naturally derived and organic ingredients', but this is ingredient level marketing language rather than a named certifying body's mark. No COSMOS or matching organic certification register entry could be found for the company, so this wording should be read as a formulation description, not a certified organic claim.

Why there is no score: Partial read. No score is published. Ingredient lists were obtained for 65 products, but the brand's product listing did not respond when the total catalogue size was measured, so the share of the range covered is unknown. Without a denominator a percentage would be meaningless.
