Selected from a strong shortlist of six finalists from across Europe and the US, OCEANTHIX™ LV stood out to the jury of European Natural Beauty Awards 2025 for combining outstanding formulation performance with measurable environmental impact. Competing alongside leading players such as Lubrizol, Sophim, and Disruptive Materials, Origin by Ocean’s ingredient was recognized not only for its technical innovation but also for pioneering a new model of circular, ocean-positive chemistry.
OCEANTHIX™LV – Not all alginates are created equal
OCEANTHIX™ LV is the world’s first commercial-scale, upcycled alginate, developed from invasive Sargassum algae — an escalating environmental problem in the Caribbean. By transforming this biomass into a valuable raw material, Origin by Ocean turns ecological harm into ocean regeneration and supports coastal communities.
Why OCEANTHIX™LV stood out:
-
100% bio-based & biodegradable – replacing synthetic thickeners without compromising performance.
-
Superior sensoriality – boosts viscosity, smooths skin feel, and eliminates stickiness in formulations.
-
Ocean regeneration impact – directly linked to restoring marine ecosystems and supporting coastal communities.
-
Full traceability – ensuring brands can meet sustainability and transparency goals.
The award placed OCEANTHIX™ LV at the forefront of sustainable beauty innovation, ahead of nominees from Belgium, Bulgaria, the United States, France, and Sweden.
Founded in 2019 by chemist and ocean activist Mari Granström, Origin by Ocean is redefining how ingredients are sourced by turning marine challenges into circular economy opportunities. This award validates not only the scientific excellence of the OCEANTHIX™ platform but also its mission: regenerating the oceans while creating high-value, sustainable products for the beauty industry and beyond.
