Eco-Beauty Stocking Stuffers from JMC Cosmetics
JMC Cosmetics REM Pen 2-in-1 Argan Eye Shadow & Gel Liner ($32)
What’s not to like about Josie Maran? She’s a smart, gorgeous ecoista and entrepreneur who singlehandedly created a middle-America market for eco-beauty with the JMC Cosmetics line, which sells through Sephora and blows out each and every time it’s featured on QVC. Oh, and she also serves on our Advisory Board.
But even if Josie weren’t one of EcoStiletto’s biggest fans, we’d still be hers—simply for her awesome line of products, which solve eco-beauty problems we didn’t even know we had. Take her cheek and lip stain, packaged to look like a magic marker—and just as usable. And a super-thick mascara that never flakes or smudges, but just happens to donate to City of Hope.
All Josie Maran Cosmetics products are free of parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances, and phthalates. Yes, she had a little run-in with the Treehugger crowd over ingredients she’s since removed—a stumbling block which never changed her faith in the power of totally clean cosmetics, packaged in recyclable or biodegradable materials.
But now Josie’s back with yet another game-changer: The Rapid Eye Makeup Pen, featuring long-wearing Argan gel eye liner on one end and a mini liner brush on the other, with a coordinated eye shadow spring loaded in the middle. It’s four eye makeup essentials in one do-it-all product—a totally genius gift that finds the geek in gorgeous.
There’s something kind of funny about all the beauty gift guides that come out this time of year. After all, who’s going to give you gift-wrapped bronzer? Yet as any ecoista knows, a stocking full of treats could be the best gift of all! Meet a few of our eminently stuffable current eco-beauty favorites—plus discounts and giveaways—from 100% Pure, RMS Beauty, REN Skincare, Dr. Hauschka and Josie Maran Cosmetics. Happy holidays!
