We are excited to launch a new business model that is in tune with changing customer behaviors." -- Marcella Cacci, Founder and CEO, One Ocean Beauty

One Ocean Beauty has partnered with one of the most innovative blue biotechnology laboratories in Europe to develop clean, clinically-proven and sustainably produced beauty & wellness products.

The collection contains key marine microorganisms and single cells with unique anti-aging properties which have been sourced from the world's marine environments and sustainably produced. The collection is free from GMOs, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, PEGs, nanoparticles, mineral oil and synthetic fragrance. There is no harvesting or extraction process, thus preserving the marine environment and protecting its biodiversity. The socially aware company has also committed to using sustainable packaging and shipping materials.

One Ocean Beauty is committed to protecting and restoring the world's oceans on a global scale and has created a breakthrough model for corporate philanthropy. The company has donated a substantial sum to Oceana, the largest international ocean conservation and advocacy organization.

"Marcella and One Ocean Beauty's support of Oceana is visionary and remarkable. They are making a commitment to Oceana based on their values and a desire to make real change happen for our oceans. Their commitment is long-term, not tied to the percentage of sales model but built into the operating structure of their company. This represents a new corporate model of funding non-profits. They are true ocean heroes." -- Matt Littlejohn, SVP Marketing & Communications, Oceana
