A pioneer in clean beauty, OSEA was launched in 1996 in Malibu, California, by Jenefer Palmer, a spa director and holistic practitioner inspired by her family’s belief in the healing power of the sea. Drawing from her grandmother’s story of recovery by swimming in the ocean, Palmer created a line of effective, non-toxic skincare centered on the restorative properties of seaweed. The brand name itself is an acronym for Ocean, Sun, Earth, and Atmosphere, reflecting its core philosophy of harnessing nature's elements for wellness. OSEA’s products, which range from marine-based cleansers and serums to its cult-favorite Undaria Algae Body Oil, are known for their potent, plant-derived formulations that are vegan and cruelty-free.
