What’s on the holiday wish list of the people who have tried and tested every OSEA product out there? A lot, it turns out. Our team of in-house experts has rounded up the best clean skincare and lifestyle gifts sure to make spirits and skin oh-so-bright. In other words, we’ve made a list and checked it twice. From the “holy grail of body oils” to an herbaceous, delicious-smelling candle, here are 16 thoughtful holiday gifts to give, or to keep for yourself—no judgement.
Claire Edwards
Retention & Loyalty Manager
Claire spends her days dreaming up email and SMS campaigns to keep our community connected. Outside of work, she loves cooking and hosting, discovering new restaurants, and exploring beautiful places. The ultimate gift to her is something that feels both personal but unexpected.
1. Flamingo Estate Heirloom Tomato Candle
“Trust me on this one. The blend of hand-picked herbs and tomato vine instantly transforms your kitchen (or any room in the house) into a lush garden where you just want to linger. Perfect for hostess gifts and something I love to get for my mom and sister every year (plus you can get them personalized!)”
“Each of these body care essentials alone is a treat, but layering them together is where the real magic happens. (I'm speaking from experience here!) This trio will make them smell amazing, and keep their skin smooth, hydrated and glowing.”
“I’m obsessed with everything Gauri Kohli designs, especially the bar essentials. Each set feels like a piece of art but is equally functional as beautiful as it is to display. The mother of pearl detail with the brushed gold finish make it an ultra-chic gift for anyone in your life who loves to host (and you can guarantee they won’t have it already).”
4. OutIn Portable Espresso Machine
“For the coffee connoisseur in your life who can't go a day without the perfect cup (also me). Not only is this machine cordless and compact, but it charges and heats water in just minutes. I’m so excited to get this for my boyfriend and use it together on our camping trips.”
Alena Olorunfunmi
Interim Senior Manager, Social Media
Alena has built her career across digital strategy, and influencer marketing. When she’s not creating content, or managing our social media channels, she’s diving into the latest trends in skincare, wellness and beauty.
1. OSEA Dream Night Serum with Bio-Retinol
“I haven’t slept more than four hours at a time since my daughter was born, but you’d never know it thanks to this algae-derived bio-retinol serum. It smooths the look of my fine lines and just wakes up my entire face.”
2. Lake & Sky 11 11 Eau de Parfum
“If your loved one gravitates toward fragrances with rich, musky notes and amber, they’ll love this clean, fresh, subtly sweet scent. It’s totally minimalist but still feels luxurious, and I always get the most compliments when I wear it.”
3. OSEA Undaria Body Bestsellers
“The person in your life who has a shelfie full of products can never have too many body moisturizers. This holiday set brings together two of our bestselling body care essentials in our signature citrusy Undaria scent. The Undaria Algae™ Body Lotion hydrates and visibly firms, while our holy grail Undaria Algae™ Body Oil leaves skin glowing. Not only will they have the most luscious skin, but they’ll be smelling just as good.”
4. L'anza Healing Curls Shampoo
“I’ll be buying this shampoo for myself because it’s perfect for my curly hair. It features the brand’s unique micro-lather surfactant technology to remove buildup without stripping hair of its natural oils. Packed with ultra-hydrating ingredients like plant butters, it helps replenish moisture and lipids without weighing hair down.”
Erica Olkes
Senior Manager of Integrated Marketing
Based in San Francisco, Erica helps bring our campaigns, product launches and events to life. Outside of work, she loves all things beauty and skincare, trying new restaurants, watching way too much TV and spending time with friends.
"I don't know why, but I feel like men's loungewear is always so ugly. I'm taking it upon myself to upgrade my boyfriend's collection, and these look so comfortable. I know he'll live in them."
"My girlfriends and I are always asking each other if anyone has lip balm, especially when it's cold out and our lips are so dry. I love that this has something for both day and night. It's such an easy gift for pretty much anyone!"
3. OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil Jumbo
"My mom is obsessed with Undaria Algae™ Body Oil and goes through it so fast. At this point, I might as well get her the jumbo size!"
"I'm honestly terrible at doing my hair and usually just let it air dry. I really want to get better at styling it, so I'm hoping this is the thing that finally gets me to do it!"
Paula Queiroz
Manager, Influencer Marketing
Paula loves managing talent and takes the art of smelling good extremely seriously. Her gift selections are all scent-forward, and while it's truly so hard to choose a favorite child, she has a next-level obsession with anything citrusy.
1. OSEA Undaria Algae™ Body Butter Bergamot & Vanilla Bean
“If you're into warm, cozy fragrances, you’ll want to slather this limited-edition body butter on often. It’s the perfect gift for the friend who can’t stop talking about how much they love the scent; it’ll complete their collection.”
2. OSEA Limited-Edition Undaria Uplift Fragrance Mood Oil
“Fans of our bestselling Undaria Algae™ Body Oil will appreciate this clean fragrance oil, inspired by the same uplifting, citrusy scent. The clean, alcohol-free blend features an innovative bi-phase formula that activates upon shaking. Just make it easy on yourself and add a few of these to the bag–then consider yourself done.”
3. Cécred Limited-Edition Candle Set
“The next best thing to Beyoncé tickets? This Cécred candle duo. With notes of oud and sandalwood, they will make any home smell indulgently rich and herbaceous.”
“Another amazing candle option for the scent-lover in your life. This brand has some captivating, nostalgic scents that hit close to home. The fragrances transport you to cultural rituals, from your favorite taqueria to the cocoa butter lotion you used as a kid.”
