“While modeling in France
years ago, I met a woman who
looked 40 but was actually 70. I
asked what her secret was, and
she introduced me to argan oil.
It transformed my skin.” Josie

There’s less of a barrier between
you and the sun up there.”

“I love to make homemade

Though she’s been
modeling since age 12,
Josie Maran always knew
she was more than just
a pretty face. “I wanted
to do something to help
the world,” she says. “I
wondered how I could
make an impact for the
better.” During a photo
shoot while pregnant with
her first daughter, Rumi
Joon, now 7, everything
clicked. Concerned about
the chemical-laden
products slathered on
her during shoots, she
decided to develop a line
of nontoxic, eco-friendly
cosmetics—concealer,
mascara, hair oil and
more. Her brainstorm
became a big business:
Josie Maran Cosmetics
has grown to 50 products
sold in eight countries.
Here, the sweet, down-toearth model mama talks
about her obsession with
argan, her favorite family
moments and her secret
weapon for fluttery lashes.

CHAPPED-LIPS FIX
“Last winter, when the weather was so harsh, I put on
Hourglass No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil day and night.
It was the frst cold season I didn’t have chapped lips.
It’s a remarkable lip balm.” ($42, sephora.com)

RITUAL
“Whenever I was
overwhelmed with the
line, my mom would tell
me to make tea. Simply
brewing it brought a
moment of clarity.”
MULTITASKING FAVE
“I adore our Body Jelly. It’s a vegetable-based, all-natural
alternative to petroleum jelly. I use it on my cuticles and
feet; I take of my makeup with it; I mix it with sugar for
a gentle scrub. People don’t believe I have dry skin and it’s
because of this.” ($12, carolsdaughter.com)

cake batter, as Carol’s
Daughter founder Lisa Price
tells it. Fed up with products
that provided little relief for
her dry skin, she decided
to make her own. Price
began playing around in
her Brooklyn apartment,
armed with a book of body
treatment recipes and a
counter full of natural
ingredients. Her experiments
yielded nothing but a lot of
mess until a Duncan Hines
commercial spurred her to
try a new technique, stirring
the creams as they cooled to
create a whipped texture—
voilà! That cream is now the
base for both Carol’s
Daughter Açai Hydrating
Face Butter and Healthy
Hair Butter ($14 and $17,
carolsdaughter.com). Price
continued to tinker with her
stovetop concoctions and,
encouraged by her mother,
started selling them at local
fea markets and craft fairs.
Customers were intrigued
by the simple ingredients.
“They would say: It feels like
there’s love in these jars.

Strutting her stuff as a
Victoria’s Secret Angel
launched Miranda
Kerr to the forefront
of the supermodel
pack. But before she
hit the big time, Kerr
spent most of her life
in the countryside
of Australia, racing
motorbikes and riding
horses—far from her
current world of highfashion photo shoots.
Those Outback years
inspired her to create
Kora Organics, a line of
mists, moisturizers and
natural face and body
cleansers. Unable to
find certified organic
beauty products that
delivered results, the
Aussie beauty—who
holds degrees in both
nutrition and health
psychology—decided to
make her own, enlisting
a chemist and testing
each product herself.
The supermodel, mom
and entrepreneur spills
about her upbringing
Down Under, her
grandmother’s positve
influence and her everevolving workouts.

As a child in a small
city in Colombia, Tata
Harper would help her
grandmother concoct
beauty treatments
in the kitchen every
Saturday after breakfast.
Then, cousins, aunts
and friends would
gather to pamper
themselves, lounging
in bathing suits, their
skin slathered in fresh
body scrubs and their
hair in masks. “Latin
women take a hands-on
approach to beauty,”
she says. “My family
jump-started my love
for making people feel
and look beautiful.”
That passion—plus an
engineering degree
and five years in a lab
working alongside a
team of chemists—
evolved into a line
of organic skin-care
products that are not
only highly effective
and luxurious but
also free of chemicals
and synthetics. The
laid-back beauty guru
shares her favorites and
inspirations.
