Brand Spotlight Series: Featuring OSEA; An Anti-Aging Skincare Routine
The OG
Perhaps one of the first Clean Beauty Brands, OSEA started back in 1996 in Southern California. OSEA was born from a long-held devotion to safe and clean formulations combined with an appreciation for the healing elements of the ocean.
As an acronym for Ocean, Sun, Earth, and Atmosphere, OSEA positively harnesses nature's best medicine.
Walk the Walk
The company goes above and beyond, and has been cruelty-free and vegan all along. They attained Leaping Bunny Certification in the year 2000. Osea walks the ‘clean beauty’ walk, by being one of the first companies to sign The Campaign For Safe Cosmetics in 2001. This campaign seeks to improve industry standards and regulation in the beauty industry to this very day. OSEA attained certification of “Ocean Positive” in 2022 by supporting kelp forests in California and around the world. A truly inspiring company and industry leader in the clean beauty realm.
Heart and Soul
At the heart of their formulations are the ocean’s gifts of algae and seaweed- one of nature’s most nutrient-dense and nourishing living greens. OSEA utilizes four different species of seaweed- like Undaria and Japanese Miru- each having different healing elements and properties.
In this article, we feature an Age-Defying skincare routine to nourish and rejuvenate the skin.
