Formulation Deep Dive

The Undaria Algae™ Body Oil by OSEA Malibu is a nutrient-dense anhydrous body treatment designed to deliver intensive lipid replenishment and antioxidant protection. The formulation utilizes a base of Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, providing a lightweight, high-linoleic acid carrier system that ensures rapid absorption and skin barrier support. Performance is driven by the infusion of Undaria Pinnatifida (Algae) Powder for mineral-rich revitalization, alongside a synergistic blend of Passiflora Edulis (Passion Fruit) Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, and Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Fruit Oil to provide a comprehensive profile of essential fatty acids and phytosterols. The formula is stabilized against oxidative rancidity through the inclusion of Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, serving as a clean-label antioxidant preservation system for the delicate botanical oil matrix.
