OSEA + Hawaii: The Perfect Skincare for Life in the Sun
Living in Hawaiʻi means year-round sunshine, salt air, and ocean dips — and your skin needs products that can keep up. That’s why we love OSEA. This Malibu-born brand creates clean, vegan, seaweed-based skincare designed to deeply hydrate, soothe, and replenish sun-exposed skin.
OSEA’s mineral-rich seaweed extracts and botanical actives help restore the skin barrier after UV exposure, reduce inflammation from heat and salt, and lock in lasting hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, ideal for humid, tropical climates.
OSEA supports radiant, resilient skin all year long. Every formula is non-toxic, reef-safe, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced, making it a perfect fit for our island lifestyle and values.
Living in Hawaii means sunshine, salt water, and outdoor living, but it also means extra care for your skin. Constant sun exposure, ocean dips, and trade winds can leave skin dehydrated, sun-stressed, and in need of serious repair. That’s why we love OSEA at Remedy. Inspired by the ocean and made with clean, hydrating ingredients, OSEA is the perfect fit for island life.
✨ Why Sun + Salt Stress the Skin
Dehydration: UV exposure + salt water pull moisture from the skin.
Oxidative Stress: Sunlight creates free radicals that break down collagen, leading to premature aging.
Barrier Damage: Wind, sweat, and environmental stressors strip the skin’s protective barrier.
Pigmentation: UV exposure triggers dark spots and uneven tone.
✨ How OSEA Helps Repair & Protect
1. Seaweed Power
OSEA’s foundation ingredient — seaweed — is rich in minerals and antioxidants. It helps remineralize skin, replenish hydration, and fight oxidative stress from the sun.
2. Deep Hydration
Formulas like the Hyaluronic Sea Serum and Sea Minerals Mist restore moisture balance, keeping skin plump and refreshed even after a beach day.
3. Barrier Support
Plant oils (like jojoba + sesame) strengthen the skin barrier so it can handle daily sun + salt exposure without irritation.
4. Anti-Aging Protection
OSEA products are loaded with antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, helping prevent collagen breakdown and fine lines caused by UV damage.
✨ Our OSEA Picks for Sun Lovers
Ocean Cleanser: Gentle cleanse without stripping after salt water + sweat.
Sea Minerals Mist: Instant refresh + hydration boost.
Hyaluronic Sea Serum: Quenches thirsty, sun-stressed skin.
Atmosphere Protection Cream: Lightweight daily moisturizer with antioxidant protection.
Undaria Algae Body Oil: Restores glow + hydration after sun and salt.
The Vagus Nerve| Why It Matters + How Vagus Nerve Oil Helps You Relax
You’ve probably heard the phrase “mind-body connection,” but did you know there’s an actual nerve that makes it happen? It’s called the vagus nerve, and it’s responsible for calming stress, improving digestion, and putting you into that blissful rest-and-digest state. At Remedy, we love working with the vagus nerve during our R+R treatments, and one of our favorite tools is the OSEA Vagus Nerve Oil. Here’s why it’s such a game-changer.
✨ What Is the Vagus Nerve?
It’s the longest cranial nerve in your body.
Runs from your brain down to your gut, touching the heart, lungs, and digestive organs along the way.
Acts like the “off switch” for stress, signaling your body to calm down.
When activated, it slows heart rate, lowers blood pressure, eases anxiety, and boosts digestion.
✨ Why Supporting the Vagus Nerve Matters
Modern life = constant stress. If your vagus nerve is underactive, you may feel stuck in “fight or flight,” leading to tension, poor sleep, gut issues, or even burnout. Stimulating the vagus nerve is like giving your nervous system a reset button.
✨ OSEA’s Vagus Nerve Oil
A soothing blend of chamomile, juniper, and jojoba oils designed to activate the vagus nerve through gentle touch and aroma.
When massaged into the neck, chest, or scalp, it helps signal the body to shift into relaxation.
The calming scent also doubles as aromatherapy, grounding your mind as your body unwinds.
✨ How We Use It at Remedy (R+R Cranial Therapy)
During our R+R service, we apply OSEA Vagus Nerve Oil with intention:
Guided deep breaths so you inhale the calming aroma.
Application to the sides of the neck (near the SCM), chest, and scalp.
Gentle cranial massage to melt tension and activate the vagus nerve.
The result? A deep sense of calm, nervous system reset, and that floaty, blissed-out Remedy glow.
✨ How to Support Your Vagus Nerve at Home
Even outside the treatment room, you can tone your vagus nerve with daily rituals:
Deep belly breathing
Cold water rinses
Humming or singing (yes, sound stimulates it!)
Gentle self-massage with OSEA Vagus Nerve Oil
Don’t apply to the face as it has pore clogging ingredients
