Natural Wonder
Date: April 20, 2009 | Category: Beauty, Skin Care
After discovering argan oil on a trip to Morocco several years ago, one of our contributing writers decided to classify it as one of the natural wonders of the world for skincare solutions (it’s edible too, so if you run out of food in the desert, you can nurse your oil). Josie Maran Cosmetics is also a fan and bottled the precious nectar: 100% organic argan oil in recyclable glass, of course. The miracle elixir, often difficult to find stateside, has a huge array of uses: as a cure-all for little annoyances like split ends and ragged cuticles, a luxurious moisturizer, and it has even been championed for skin conditions such as psoriasis. And unlike some other beauty products that include argan oil among a laundry list of other ingredients, here it gets top billing as the only ingredient: pure, simple and perfect.
Right now Josie Maran Cosmetics is offering an Earth Day Essentials Kit - it’s a limited time offer of all the best sellers (including the argan oil!). The kit includes: Mascara in black (full size), Cream Blush in Sunrise (full size), Plumping Lip Gloss in Daring (full size), Eye Liner in Black (full size), and the fabulous 100% organic Argan Oil (deluxe sample). Valued at over $98, the kit is being offered for a limited time at $48!
