Josie Maran on her teenage-girl crush, the glee of waterfalls, and how we could all benefit from a little more moisture

“I always had this fear: Is that going to happen to me?’” she remembers. “There were high levels of breast cancer in the Bay Area, so I did some researching and dry cleaning came up. Poor people don’t get to put fancy chemicals on their bodies. They put on coconut oil or argan oil on their bodies.” She debuted her line of makeup and skin care in 2007. A year later, Moroccanoil, the argan oil hair-care line, came out. This back-to-back fortuity contributed to what she calls “the Rev-oil-ution.” This year, she’s pairing the oil with pink algae in her new Argan Beta-Retinoid Pink Algae Serum. The algae is rich in beta-carotene, a natural source of vitamin A, and gentle enough that Maran says even the most sensitive types won’t experience that classic retinol redness.
