About Ocea
Our story, our mission, and the values that drive everything we do
Born from the Ocean,
Backed by Science
Ocea was born from a simple belief: protecting your skin shouldn't come at the expense of our environment. As a premium brand under the KoolaSun family, we draw on over 20 years of sun protection expertise to create formulations that are both highly effective and ecologically responsible.
Our name, Ocea, reflects our deep connection to the ocean. Every product we create is formulated with reef-safe mineral ingredients that won't harm coral reefs, marine life, or the delicate ecosystems that sustain our planet.
Based in South Africa, we understand the demands of the African sun. Our products are rigorously tested to international standards, ensuring broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection you can trust.
What We Stand For
Every decision we make is guided by our commitment to people and planet.
Eco-Conscious
Reef-safe formulations using mineral UV filters that don't harm marine ecosystems. We choose ingredients that protect both you and the ocean.
Cruelty Free
We never test on animals. Our products are vegan-friendly and formulated with compassion for all living creatures.
Mineral-Based
Our sunscreens use Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide for physical UV protection, sitting on the skin's surface to reflect harmful rays naturally.
Family Safe
Hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested formulations suitable for babies, children, and sensitive skin. Protection the whole family can rely on.
Protecting Skin, Preserving Nature
We're on a mission to prove that premium skincare and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand. Every Ocea product is a step toward cleaner oceans and healthier skin.
