Coming into adulthood, and even in my younger years, I’d go into my mom’s room and “borrow” her perfumes and expensive makeup, but boy, how the tables have turned. With me being a shopping editor, my mom gets first dibs on some of my PR, and a few months ago, she “borrowed” my Osea Anti-Aging Body Balm. While I was upset she had taken one of my favorite products, I couldn’t stay upset long because she said the serum-like lotion did wonders for her skin, and went as far as calling it “a time machine in a bottle.” Shop it on sale for $84 while it's on rare sale ahead of Cyber Monday.

The anti-aging balm’s star ingredient is seaweed, which improves skin elasticity and makes skin feel firmer all over. It’s also formulated with passion fruit seed oil to enhance the skin’s ability to hold moisture, promoting a healthier, more youthful appearance. The added coconut oil locks in moisture, while the safflower seed oil nourishes dry skin. It also has a light scent profile of jasmine, rose geranium, and basil that’s not too intense.

My mom said the seaweed-infused body lotion has “elevated” her post-shower routine. She says the consistency is “rich” and “lightweight” on her skin, and the fragrance “isn’t too overpowering” and offers a “spa-like aromatherapy effect.” She massages the balm onto slightly damp skin, which helps seal in moisture, leaving her skin smooth, hydrated, and glowing. And she likes that it turns into an oil or serum-like texture that melts into the skin without much effort. She also mentions that “a little goes a long way,” and it “doesn’t leave an oily residue or transfer onto clothes” like other balms she’s used.

Hours after applying, her skin still feels “soft and moisturized without needing reapplication.” After a few months of consistent use, she noticed that her skin felt firmer and appeared less textured. And even on days she skips the balm, her skin remains smooth and hydrated, which she believes shows how much it’s improved her skin’s overall health. Her final thoughts were that her skin “hadn’t felt this youthful and radiant in years.”
