Ahead, explore our award-winning face and body care, beloved by editors everywhere.
2025 – Undaria Algae™ Body Oil
Awarded “Best Body Oil”
Launched in 2010, Undaria Algae™ Body Oil is our number one bestseller for good reason. This silky, fast-absorbing elixir delivers real results, leaving skin visibly firmer, smoother and glowing. Undaria Algae™ Body Oil set a new industry standard for clean, effective body care. Clinically shown to improve moisturization and skin elasticity after just one use, it has truly earned its reputation as “liquid gold.”
When developing the formula, our founder Jenefer channeled decades of experience in formulating clean, clinically tested skincare into the creation of a first-of-its-kind seaweed-infused body oil, powered by hand-harvested Undaria algae. Undaria seaweed is soaked in barrels of nourishing botanical oils, including passion fruit, açaí, babassu, and rice bran, to infuse every drop with skin-loving vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and nutrients. Fun fact: Undaria seaweed gives the oil its distinctive hue, which shifts from golden to deep emerald with each harvest.
Why It Won:
Allure editors praised the formula for how it “melts in like a dream, leaving skin soft and smooth without any greasy residue.” Testers highlighted that “one pump goes a long way, and the fresh citrus scent, with notes of grapefruit, lime, and mango mandarin, lingers lightly, leaving you smelling like a vacation in a bottle.” We couldn’t agree more.

2024 – Hyaluronic Body Serum
Awarded “Best Splurges”
Launched in 2024, our Hyaluronic Body Serum is an ultra-hydrating daily body treatment clinically shown to instantly increase hydration by 161%.* Lightweight and fast-absorbing, it improves the skin’s natural moisture barrier for visibly healthy, smooth skin everywhere. Packed with five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, nutrient-dense seaweed, aloe, vegan peptides, and niacinamide, this award-winning serum delivers 24 hours of multi-surface hydration. Dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free, and suitable for all skin types, it can be used alone or layered under your favorite body moisturizer.
Why It Won:
According to Allure editors, winning in the “Splurge” category means that you can trust that a product will deliver on its promises with “zero buyer’s remorse.” And our body serum delivered.
Hyaluronic Body Serum was recognized for bringing the same level of care to the skin on your body as you would to your face. As Allure put it, “you wouldn’t skip serum for your face, so it’s about time you treated your body with the same esteem.” Editors highlighted how it “serves skin five courses of the water-retaining ingredient—at five different molecular weights—to immediately draw in plumping hydration, while algae replenish minerals and niacinamide smooths things over.” One tester shared, “I switched to this lighter, fragrance-free elixir that gives just enough hydration without leaving behind a sticky, sweaty mess… it’s been such a nice change to my typical routine.”

2023 – Vagus Nerve Bath Oil
Awarded “Best Splurges: Body & Fragrance”
Our recipe for the perfect relaxing bath is simple: fill the tub with warm water, dim the lights, grab a book, and pour in a generous dose of our award-winning Vagus Nerve Bath Oil. A blend of chamomile, lemon tea tree, juniper berry, Moroccan rosemary and lavender essential oils blooms in the water to balance mind and body. Meanwhile, apricot, avocado, grapeseed and meadowfoam oils soften and moisturize skin.
Named after the Latin word for “wandering,” the vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body, running all the way from the brain all the way to the stomach.
Why It Won:
Allure cleverly pointed out that “Pricey bath products don’t necessarily ease your tension—they just make it fancier. But the indulgent OSEA Vagus Nerve Bath Oil really does take a load off.” Associate Special Projects Manager Talia Gutierrez shared that she’s “made a generous pour part of every Friday-night-in bath,” adding that the oil “turns skin into silk” and her “stress into vapor.”
2022 – Ocean Eyes® Age-Defying Serum
Awarded “Best Eye Cream (Firming)”
You know how a shot of espresso perks you right up? Our Ocean Eyes® Serum does that for tired eyes. Seconds after you roll it on, this powerful eye treatment wakes up your entire face. It deposits all of its visibly brightening, firming, depuffing, wrinkle-smoothing and hydrating ingredients (including seaweed, a biomimetic peptide, clinically tested quinoa extract and hyaluronic acid) through a rollerball that cools skin upon contact and makes you look instantly bright-eyed.
Why It Won:
Though technically a serum, not a cream, Ocean Eyes® stood out in this category for its peptide-packed formula and unmatched visibly firming and smoothing abilities. As Allure editors put it, “You know the formula is stellar when the soothing rollerball applicator is merely a bonus.”
