Osea’s algae-based formulas have garnered glowing reviews from stars like Brittany Mahomes, who’s shouted out the best-selling Undaria Algae Body Oil.
asserted
who → base → Oil
“Not like you guys asked, but y’all know I only share things that I’m absolutely obsessed with,” she wrote on Instagram Stories earlier this year, sharing a snap of her nearly empty bottle of the product.
“This is NEXT LEVEL,” the WAG added, saying it “has done wonders” for her skin.
asserted
it → ask → skin
Victoria Beckham has name-checked it as a go-to as well, while Jessel Taank told Page Six Style it’s her “holy grail” and leaves her skin feeling “super soft.”
asserted
it → check → skin
I’ll admit I was personally a bit skeptical at first, as I’ve never been a body oil girl.
asserted
I → admit → ?
(While I like the glowy look, I’ve always been afraid of staining sheets or furniture — or walking around feeling greasy all day.)
asserted
I → like → sheets
But after Taank told me how fast it absorbs, I was intrigued to give this one a try.

My review
Pros:
- Absorbs quickly
- Doesn’t leave a greasy residue
- Provides a subtle glow
Cons:
- Over $50 a bottle — and it could go fast depending on how much you use at a time
After trying it out firsthand, I can attest it truly does absorb in just a few seconds, and — at least in my experience — it doesn’t transfer to clothing.
uncertain
it → absorb → clothing
The oil has a nice subtle scent, and it left my skin feeling noticeably smoother and glowier.
asserted
it → have → skin
I’m sad I discovered it as summer’s almost over, because I think it’s a great hack for more radiant-looking legs when wearing shorter skirts or shorts.
asserted
it → ’m → skirts
I even tried applying it to only one leg, and noticed my skin truly looked more even and shimmery afterward.
asserted
skin → try → leg
While I can’t speak to any long-term firming effects just yet, if you’re looking for a little extra glow, this formula’s a winner in my book.
asserted
formula → speak → book
It makes sense that stars who wear skin-baring red carpet looks or pose for beach photo shoots swear by the stuff.

More Osea best sellers
Pros:
- Smells great
- Feels hydrating and leaves lips with a clear, glossy seen
Cons:
- Feels a little sticky when first applied
This juicy lip oil is another top seller, and I can totally see why.
asserted
I → smell → seen
It’s billed as a gloss-balm hybrid, but it feels more gloss-like to me.
asserted
it → bill → me
My favorite part is the mango and mandarin scent; it’s like a tropical smoothie for your lips.
asserted
it → ’ → lips
Pros:
- Milk-like formula absorbs fast
- The smell is relaxing
- Leaves skin feeling softer and hydrated
Cons:
- Application can be a bit messy
After doing some reading on the brand’s site, I realized you can layer lotion or body serum with the Undaria oil.
asserted
you → absorb → oil
The milky texture of this serum stands apart from thicker moisturizers and body butters, and applying it was truly a sensorial, spa-like experience.
asserted
applying → stand → it
It promises to boost hydration by 161% (!) for visibly healthy, smooth skin — and while I’m not sure about the 161%, it sure seemed to deliver.
asserted
it → promise → %
It makes sense that Osea’s founder, Jenefer Palmer, came up with the idea for the brand while working as a spa director in Miami.
asserted
founder → make → Miami
The line smells (and feels) like something you’d find in a luxury spa.
asserted
you → smell → spa
If you’re looking for a no-frills lotion to slather on after a shower, Osea might not be your best bet.
uncertain
Osea → look → shower
But If you’re someone who loves body care or wants to add a little luxury to your shower routine, these could be just the thing.
uncertain
these → ’re → routine
How we tested
I tried the brand’s best-selling body care formulas over the course of two weeks, applying them after the shower and keeping the following factors in mind:
- Value for the price: Did the products justify their price tags?
- Ease of use: Were they easy to apply?
asserted
they → test → use
Did they absorb quickly?
asserted
they → absorb → ?
- Overall experience: Did they smell good?
asserted
they → smell → ?
Did they feel hydrating?
