This entry was read from an archived copy of bcorporation.net, since the live directory blocks automated search.

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.
Last checked 22 July 2026.
We analysed 65 Josie Maran products, categorising every listed ingredient by function, origin (raw natural, naturally derived or synthetic) and safety concern. This is not the whole catalogue, so it is reported as a partial read. Percentages show the share of each formula that is natural or naturally derived.
Most common flags: Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance (Parfum), Limonene, Linalool, Polysorbate-60, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Vanillin, Linalyl Acetate, Benzyl Alcohol, Coumarin
Coverage: Ingredient lists were read for 65 products. The size of the full catalogue could not be established, so no average is shown.
Analyst note: Ingredient lists were read for 65 products. The brand's total catalogue size could not be measured, so the share of the catalogue covered here is not known.
