Josie Maran Pink Algae Pro-Retinol Body Butter

Josie Maran Pink Algae Pro-Retinol Body Butter – Always Nude

Josie Maran Pink Algae Pro-Retinol Body Butter is a clinically proven retexturizing body butter designed to visibly smooth rough, uneven, and crepey skin with retinol-like results, minus the irritation. The Always Nude formula is completely fragrance-free, perfect for anyone seeking smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin from head to toe.

What Makes This Formula Special

At the heart of the product is Pro-Retinol derived from Pink Algae (Dunaliella Salina) – a vegan, all-natural form of Vitamin A, lab-cultivated from pink algae. Unlike synthetic or animal-derived forms of retinol, this plant-based Pro-Retinol retexturizes and smooths skin without causing redness or sun sensitivity. It is particularly effective for skin affected by keratosis pilaris (KP), commonly known as "chicken skin" or "strawberry skin."

Key Ingredients

• Dunaliella Salina (Pink Algae) Extract — lab-cultivated Pro-Retinol that visibly smooths lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture without irritation.
• Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil — Josie Maran's iconic 100% pure, organic, sustainably sourced golden oil. Strengthens the skin barrier and improves elasticity.
• Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter — a rich emollient that deeply hydrates and nourishes skin.
• Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil — rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it helps combat loss of suppleness.
• Quercetin — a powerful protective antioxidant that enhances the effects of Pink Algae Pro-Retinol.
