1996: the year of the Spice Girls, (the first) Mission: Impossible, and “it” couple Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. And while some of 1996’s biggest moments didn’t necessarily have staying power (i.e. the “Macarena,” thankfully), others that came on to the scene that year have only gotten bigger and better. Case in point: OSEA.
OSEA: Clean beauty innovator
Malibu-based OSEA officially launched on February 29, 1996 with the mission to share the healing power of seaweed-infused skincare. OSEA was one of the first brands to be Leaping Bunny Certified and the first company to sign the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. The brand has since continuously lobbied for additional safety regulations in the cosmetics industry while maintaining their unwavering commitment to clean beauty. Today, OSEA is one of the most sought-after skin-care brands with a roster of celebrity fans including Victoria Beckham, Sophia Bush, Brie Larson and Kelly Ripa.
To celebrate their 28th birthday, OSEA is having an epic sale—and this brand rarely does sales. For five days only, OSEA is bringing back pricing like it’s 1996 again on select products. Get the always-best-selling Ocean Cleanser for $20 off. Victoria Beckham and Brie Larson’s beloved travel-friendly-sized Undaria Algae Body Oil is just $12. For even more delightful 90’s nostalgia, OSEA’s website will revert to their original site as you shop like it’s 1996.
