At Origin by Ocean, we’re proud to be part of the Nordic Natural Beauty movement, and to support companies in nature-positive formulations with our functional ingredients. Our innovative circular biopolymer, OCEANTHIX™ LV, was named Innovative Natural Raw Ingredient of the Year, showcasing how Finnish scientists are also paving the way for regenerative supply chains that will fuel the future of the beauty industry.
A fast-growing natural beauty hub in Europe
The Finnish beauty and personal care market is valued at over €1.3 billion, and is expected to reach €1.9 billion by 2030, growing steadily at around 4–5% annually. Within that, natural and sustainable cosmetics represent one of the fastest-expanding segments — already accounting for an estimated 20–25% of the total market..
This growth is fueled by a unique blend of ethical consumer values and scientific expertise :
- Finnish consumers consistently rank among Europe’s most sustainability-conscious.
- Local brands integrate have pioneered circular design and transparency into their DNA.
- Government and EU funding support innovation in bio-based materials and green chemistry.
This makes Finland not only an ideal test market for sustainable product launches but also a springboard for scaling globally.
How Origin by Ocean helps small and medium sized brands grow
Origin by Ocean is looking to collaborate with brands that want to combine authenticity, science, and sustainability. Our first-of-a-kind biorefinery, using sargassum algae as a feedstock, will be operational in 2028.
Securing a share of our future production through a non-binding offtake agreement, will give first-mover brands early access to novel ingredients shaping the future of beauty.
- OCEANTHIX™ LV – a next-generation biopolymer offering the sensorial performance of synthetic polymers, but 100% biodegradable and upcycled from ocean overgrowth.
- OCEANBOOST™ LF – a high-purity fucoidan delivering hydration, soothing, and skin-barrier support — ideal for modern wellness and skincare applications.
By partnering with Finnish and international beauty brands, we enable real regenerative impact — turning the challenge of ocean overgrowth into new business growth.
Our work with Atlantic brown algae today lays the foundation for future use of local seaweeds, ensuring that the solutions we develop for global ocean challenges also strengthen local blue bioeconomy. After all, the health of our oceans is shared — from the Caribbean to the Baltic.
The future of Finnish beauty is blue-green
Like many of the innovative brands redefining the sustainable beauty and personal care market, Origin by Ocean was born from one woman’s passion and purpose — right in her kitchen.
Innovation, mission, and design excellence are part of the Finnish DNA. Our once homegrown brands continue to prove that science, sustainability, and aesthetics can blend seamlessly to create world-class products.
Together with forward-thinking partners we can show that the future of beauty is high-performing, pure and regenerative.
