Managing dry skin can feel like a constant battle, especially during winter when the air is especially drying. As someone who grew up in a very dry climate and travels back to it often, I’ve tried too many moisturizing products to count to keep my skin feeling dewy and soft. For most of my life, that meant focusing on my face, but recently I’ve been experimenting with products that hydrate my whole body. The goal of glowing skin quickly led me to the Osea Undaria Algae body oil — and I’m so glad it did.

This body oil is far from being a secret — it’s used by celebs including Brie Larson and Victoria Beckham. They both referenced the body oil as something that locks in moisture, and I’ve found similar benefits. Like Beckham, I regularly use it on my damp skin directly after a shower. Since incorporating it into my routine, the small dry patches on my legs and arms started to fade, and I noticed it protects my legs from razor bumps and irritation after shaving. In addition, it also leaves my skin feeling moisturized all day.

The formula includes Undaria seaweed, white lupin flower, and a botanical oil blend of passion fruit, acai, babassu, and rice bran oil, which provide moisturizing and firming benefits, according to the brand. Specifically, the seaweed replenishes the skin's moisture barrier while the white lupin flower improves skin elasticity for visibly tighter skin.

Thousands of shoppers agree, saying they also use “this luxurious oil” after a shower on damp skin. One reviewer credited this body oil for working well on their sensitive skin, noting that they “rotate the body oil with the anti-aging body balm, and [their] skin is in heaven.” They also added that it’s “the only product” they use on their “legs after shaving that helps with irritation.”

Personally, I also enjoy that the moisture doesn't make my skin feel greasy, which other reviewers found, too. One person, in particular, noted that it is “very light on the skin.” I keep the larger 5-ounce bottle in the shower but rely on this bestsellers kit for travel-friendly sizes. The brand also sells an Undaria Algae Body Butter, Anti-Aging Body Balm, and more popular products that keep my skin soft throughout the year.
