SKINCARE FROM THE SEA

For over 27 years, we’ve been on a mission to create clean, seaweed-infused skincare that respects the natural world and makes skin look and feel its absolute best. In 1996, we set a new industry standard by prioritizing naturally-derived ingredients, chosen for their safety, efficacy and backed by the latest scientific research. Today it’s called clean beauty, but in our family, it is what it has always been: a simple idea that the ocean should be part of everyone’s life—and the conviction that it already is.

The ocean is our deepest inspiration. We use seaweed because it’s a superfood rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients. The benefits of seaweed are endless. Different species of seaweed can provide a myriad of results, including anti-aging and moisturization. Our seaweeds are sourced from around the world, based on scientific data.

100 YEARS OF WOMEN INSPIRED BY THE SEA

OSEA was founded three decades ago, but our story began over a century ago. My grandmother Elsa was a great believer in the power of the sea. When she was 44 years old, Elsa had a terrible fall, injuring her leg and leaving her bedridden. One night, a message came to her in a dream: The ocean will heal you. The next morning, she asked her husband to take her to the Long Island Sound and carry her into the water. She returned again the next day. And the next. Elsa swam in the frigid waters every day for weeks, and the dream became a prophecy: Her leg healed.

INSPIRED BY NATURE'S ELEMENTS

Since day one, our family has put our values into every product we make and into everything we do. OSEA stands for ocean, sun, earth and atmosphere. These are the natural elements of wellness and a promise that every decision, every product is made with consideration of our impact on our planet and our collective well being.

ADVOCATING FOR CLEAN

In 2002, we became the first company to sign The Compact for Global Production of Safe Health and Beauty Products, an initiative from the Environmental Working Group. Their mission is to ensure products are “free of chemicals that are known or strongly suspected of causing cancer, mutation or birth defects.” We continue to lobby our legislatures and advocate for safe skincare for all.

*Due to brand restrictions, we cannot ship OSEA products. They are only available in-store and for in-store pickup at checkout.
