Osmia was founded in 2012 by Dr. Sarah Villafranco, a medical doctor who turned her clinical knowledge toward creating a safer, simpler approach to skincare. Frustrated by the toxic ingredients in conventional products and the ineffective formulas in "natural" ones, Dr. Villafranco created Osmia with a "less is more" philosophy — using the highest-quality organic botanicals and essential oils to achieve real results without harmful chemicals.

Osmia is particularly beloved by people with sensitive, acne-prone, or eczema-affected skin. The brand avoids synthetic fragrance, petrochemicals, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and ethoxylated ingredients — and plants a tree with every order.
