OSEA Skincare

Inspired by her grandmother’s lifelong love of the sea, Jenefer Palmer set out to share her passion through a plant-based skin care line infused with elements of the ocean. Distraught by the harmful chemicals she found in other products, Palmer resolved to craft her formulas with safer, nourishing ingredients.

While OSEA has now expanded into a world-renowned skin care line, their commitment has stayed the same—producing effective, wholesome products as pure as the ocean itself.
