Some products are created in response to trends. Others are born from a need that becomes impossible to ignore. Dream Lip Mask was the latter.
Overnight treatments have long been a cornerstone of face and body care, designed to work in sync with the skin’s natural repair process while you sleep. Lips, however, have rarely been given the same consideration, despite being thinner, drier and more delicate than the rest of the skin. During sleep the body enters rejuvenation mode—but lips lack oil glands, making them especially prone to dehydration, and visible signs of aging.
“My lips get dry overnight and by morning, my lip lines look worse. I realized my lips needed extra help,” says OSEA founder and Chief Seaweed Officer, Jenefer Palmer. “But the world certainly did not need another ordinary lip mask...”
That realization led to a bigger question: why had lip care remained focused almost entirely on surface hydration, while the rest of skincare evolved toward targeted, age-defying treatments?
A Gap in Lip Care
It’s one of our core values as a brand committed to sustainability since 1996 to only create a product when it’s truly bringing something innovative to the table. The goal was not to make a heavier balm or a trend-driven product, it was to address a clear gap in lip care.
“At OSEA, we create intentional products that align with our holistic approach to self-care,” explains Nikki Haber, Associate Director, Product Development. “There are plenty of lip products that feel nice, but very few that are designed to visibly improve the look of lip lines.”
Our Dream Lip Mask was formulated to act like a restorative cocoon, helping to lock in moisture while actively nourishing to soften lips and smooth lines overnight.
Why Bio-Retinol
Traditional retinol can make a profound difference in skin—if, and that’s a big “if”, you’re able to tolerate it. It’s often simply too harsh. Following the success of bio-retinol across The Dream Collection, the team explored whether this gentler retinol alternative could be formulated to work effectively for lips as well.
“The challenge was finding the right balance between visible results and moisturizing dry lips,” Nikki explains.
The bio-retinol in Dream Lip Mask is an extract derived from Bidens pilosa plant. It acts as a safer, stable alternative to smooth and soften lips without irritation.
A few additional clean ingredients take Dream Lip Mask to a whole new level:
- Passionfruit Oil: Rich in polyphenols & antioxidants to moisturize, nourish and condition lips. Known for its soothing properties, it helps make Dream Lip Mask a dreamy addition to your nighttime ritual.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: Helps promote a more plumped look to smooth lip lines.
- Undaria Seaweed: Our signature ingredient. This nutrient-rich seaweed helps promote fuller-looking lips.
The end result: Supple, healthier-looking lips by morning.
What Makes This Lip Mask a Dream Come True
Like everything in The Dream Collection, Dream Lip Mask was designed to deliver both clinical results and a wellness-driven experience for the senses. As Jenefer puts it, “Our unique seaweed-infused gel texture moisturizes while you dream. The fresh passion fruit oil, known for its soothing properties, is a sensorial delight!”
After multiple iterations, the team landed on a luxurious gel texture that melts into the lips and comforts overnight. Passion fruit oil turns the treatment into an indulgent bedtime ritual.
