    Josie Maran, Founder of Josie Maran Cosmetics

    At every critical juncture in my life, there's been someone saying, “There's no way you can do this. You’re too short to be a model. You have no experience to run a company. Industry-quality beauty products can’t also be healthy for your body and the planet.”

    As a supermodel who also happens to be shorter than your average cover girl, I’ve learned that anything is possible if you have the drive and bravery to go after what you love. It’s that same spirit that gave me the courage to found our high-performance, natural cosmetics brand. This “hutzpah “ as my mom calls it, can be traced back to my upbringing in a Bohemian household with humble means in the Bay Area. I was taught by my parents (a green builder father and a mom who is 1 of 13 children) to be sustainably resourceful and to respect the planet.

    But most of all, they taught me to work.
