MIRACLE WORKER
A science driven wellness brand with the sun and surf in its soul promises to give wearers the skin and hair of their dreams. Find out what makes Moringa, Oshin Oil’s superstar ingredient so powerful. When the passionate globetrotter Marilyn Schlossbach traveled to Nicaragua, she didn’t know she’d stumble upon Moringa, a centuries old botanical ingredient that would rock the beauty world. Schlossbach said, “A chance encounter with a Korean farmer at a dinner led to a relationship of collaboration and exploration into this plant that’s dubbed the ‘miracle tree’ due to its medicinal properties. With Moringa at its heart, I developed Oshin Oil, a multitasking, multi gender hair, face, beard, and body oil, an all in one product that will appeal to minimal packers like me.” The holy grail of skincare products, Moringa is rich in antioxidants that soothe and shield the skin while providing maximum hydration. Schlossbach added, “The best thing about Oshin Oil is that it is non comedogenic and can be applied as little or as much as desired without clogging the pores or hair follicles. This makes it the perfect product for hair and face applications.” To perfume her holistic product, the owner accessed one of her scent memories, noting, “Something fresh and inviting to invoke my love of the Northeast ocean.” oshinoil.com
