OSEA Malibu

Sustainability Story

For over 25 years we have been committed to creating clean, vegan skincare and bodycare products that are safe for your skin, our oceans, and the planet. Since our founding in 1996 sustainability has been at the forefront of everything we do. At every touchpoint we aim to minimize our impact — from the recyclability of our packaging to using renewable energy for our office and skincare studio, and even through our giving initiatives, supporting non-profits that are taking action to protect our planet for our future generations. We hope to inspire and drive change within the global beauty community by partnering with Climate Neutral to hold us to the highest standards of accountability. Our goal is to do better than yesterday, do better for tomorrow.

Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We are working to minimize our use of virgin plastic by transitioning product pumps and lids to PCR material or Ocean Waste.

How We'll Reduce It

We will transition our pumps and lids in stages throughout the year.

What We’re Reducing

We are working to reduce our footprint by resizing our shipper boxes to use less cardboard. We will also transition to smaller shippers where possible, will phase out the inclusion of paper sample cards in our shippers, and will remove the printed packing

What We’re Reducing

Reducing our footprint of our primary packaging material by removing inserts from our product unit boxes.

How We'll Reduce It

Inserts are small pieces of thick paper that pad the interior to prevent products from breaking. We're removing them from the boxes, as we've found they're not actually necessary to product the products.
