Oh Please....Josie Maran ....Argan Oil.....Lisa stop it !!!!

Lisa please let it rest ! Josie Maran did not discover, invent, create, unearth, (whatever) Argan oil.

It's been around for over a decade or more, used in many beauty products, used by other beauty artist's and experts, such as Adrienne Arpel, is often called Moroccan Oil, etc.

Josie just branded hers and brought it to QVC and VOILA ! is taking the money to the bank.

But please stop crediting her for the discovery of it. Do your homework !!!!

Well wasn't it the 70 year old French lady that looked 40? I hope she got a share in Josie's company.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

I knew about argan oil at least 11-12 years ago when Giselle Mir made it available.

That's right Red Convertible, totally forgot about Giselle ! Thanks for the reminder ! Josie

She acts like she discovered it herself. And yes, her French lady should definitely be getting a percentage of the bank !!! {#emotions_dlg.lol}

But if there is no French lady, who shrieks "ARGAN OIL!" while running up and down the hilly streets of Morocco? Or France? or wherever.

Regardless, Josie can be credited for making Argan oil popular and a household name. Neither I, my family members nor my friends had ever heard of it until Josie brought it to the market.

And Josie has never claimed to discover it since she obviously credits the 70 year old woman for introducing her to it- she just said SHE never heard of it before, big difference.

Thank you for taking a moment to have your link open in a new window.

Sorry, not much else to say about JM and the argan issue.

Christopher Columbus didn't really discover America either, but he sure did make it popular.
