Clean Ingredients

Bio-Retinol

Extract derived from bidens pilosa plant that acts as a safer, stable alternative to retinol, visibly improves lines and wrinkles.

Undaria Seaweed

Hand-harvested, rich in amino acids, antioxidants and vitamins and helps replenish the skin’s moisture barrier.

Over 30 years ago, I started OSEA to share the healing powers of the sea. Since then, it’s been our mission to create clean, clinically tested skincare, combining pure, potent seaweed with active botanicals for results you can sea. My vision is to create waves of kindness for people and our planet.

FAQs

Our skincare products are made with naturally derived ingredients to provide the best benefits for your skin. Advanced Protection Cream is fragrance-free, meaning there is no fragrance or essential oils added. However, you may detect a scent from some of the naturally derived ingredients in this formula.

One’s olfactory receptors (or sense of smell) differ from person to person so it is hard to describe what you might smell in a fragrance-free formula, but it could best be described as a bit “earthy” or “medicinal”. Please note the scent does not affect the product’s quality or efficacy.

It’s a rich, luxurious cream.

Advanced Protection Cream leaves skin deeply moisturized and nourished without leaving a heavy or greasy residue.

The bio-retinol in our Advanced Protection Cream is an extract derived from bidens pilosa plant that acts as a safer, stable alternative to retinol, and visibly improves lines and wrinkles without irritation.

There is no need to start slowly or avoid specific ingredients (for example: AHAs or BHAs) like you would with other retinol products.

Packaging: Jar is made of frosted glass.
Recycling: Remove cap and dispose of it in the trash. Clean jar and put in your curbside recycling bin*.
*Before disposing in your recycling bin, please check if your local curbside recycling program accepts frosted glass.

    Slightly odd scent — more chemical than seaweed — but it felt really nice going on my skin. It’s thick and creamy, and was perfect under makeup and before bed! Unfortunately it didn’t last too long with putting it on both face and neck, and definitely wasn’t a miracle product. For the price point, I probably won’t be buying again, but if you have the funds, it was a really nice face cream!

    Smells weird

    I bought this to try it out and I can’t get over the smell. I was expecting more eucalyptus like scent or no scent at all, but this one isn’t it.

    Disappointment

    The products sit on top of my skin and do not absorb. No matter how small or large the amount I apply, it stays on surface and feels greasy .. very disappointing

    Excellent moisturizer prior to sunscreen

    I have very dry skin and sunscreen usually dehydrated my skin. With my new regimen adding the advanced protection cream prior to the sunscreen, my skin stays hydrated and the sunscreen comes off much better.

    Works great smells terrible

    If only I can get over the smell I’ll love this cream. The slightly metallic bad chemical scent throws me off. In fairness I’ve only used it for 1 week. I’m hoping with time it will be okay. I have very sensitive eczema prone skin and it has been doing a good job for keeping me hydrated.

    Great product - smells awful.

    I love and use many Osea products and will continue to do so... I'm sure the Advanced Protection Cream is also good, but the smell is so awful I will have to toss the two jars I ordered because they are outside of the return window. I tried the product 4 different times and had to wash off due to the odor. Definitely would not recommend or at least try a sample before buying - product is listed as non-fragrance but definitely has a smell.

    Use to be my favorite

    Wish I knew they had changed some ingredients.. this use to be my absolute go to for skin care but when I bought it after a little hiatus I broke out with a terrible allergic reaction. I didn’t know ingredients had been changed so I tried it again after my reaction cleared up and yeah it was definitely the cream.
