Strengthen Your Strands For Luscious Locks!


Our hair is a big part of who we are and how we present ourselves to the world. It's like a fashion statement we can switch up to match our mood, the cherry on top of our every day look! But just like our skin, our hair needs proper nourishment to shine-on and look its best. Here are our top three tips for promoting full, thick, flowing hair.

1. Hair Mask.

Hair masks are all-too-often an overlooked step in a beauty routine. Your hair is exposed to environmental toxins, climate-induced textures, chemicals from dyes, damage from hot tools, and more. It is important we provide reinforcement to these daily dealings. Tropical Mango Mask is a nutrient-rich mask that you can apply to your hair for a deeply nourishing treatment to help repair damage and restore shine!
PRO TIP: For an extra splash of hydration, mix a pump of Nourish into your Mask, apply the mixture, and sleep in it. Rinse it out in the morning and say hello to your best hair day yet.

2. Scalp Treatment.

From a healthy scalp grows luscious locks. Ensure it is getting the love it needs by vigorously massaging it every time you wash your hair. Just a couple minutes a few times a week will help increase blood circulation and stimulate growth by creating the ideal environment for hair to thrive.
PRO TIP: Boost antioxidant power for a healthy, flake-free noggin by mixing a tablespoon of coconut oil with Replenish for an amazing scalp treatment.

3. Fuel with Foods.

Whether it's your body, skin, or hair... start within. You know how we roll. Implementing leafy greens, nuts and seeds, and antioxidant-rich foods into your diet will directly impact the health of those strands, keeping them strong and shiny. Check out these Ayurvedic tricks for promoting your healthiest hair.
PRO TIP: If your body is hydrated, your skin and hair are more likely to be too. Just another reason to drink more than enough water every day to back your beauty! Sip on Hormone Water to help holistically balance and harmonize hair growth.

Utilize these habits and let it flow! Healthy hair is the perfect accessory to your beauty. Tell us your favorite healthy hair habits in the comments below!

Makeup Tips and Tricks for a Glowing Spring Brilliance


The changing of the season paves the way for a refresh and renewal in all aspects of life, including your makeup bag! Say goodbye to warm and dark winter hues and hello to this season's hottest trends! Glowing skin is always in, but this spring it's making a bigger statement than ever. Check out our tips and tricks for brightening up your look!

1. Glowing Eyes.

Put the smokey eye on hold, right now it's all about a monochromatic glow! No need for a contour color, just dab a bit of highlighter or a soft, shimmery shade of Eye Shadow onto the center of the lid and blend into the ball of the eye, just under the brow, and down around the tear duct to create a bright, youthful radiance! Get the full step-by-step tutorial for the perfect glowing eyes here.


2. Bright Blush.

Go bold with Blush this spring! Adding a pop of color to the cheeks perfectly compliments the glow of the eyes and adds life to your look! Colors in the coral and orange family are hot right now! And you can never go wrong playing it safe with pinks.


3. Flaunt your Best Features.

Targeted highlighting that illuminates the entire face is absolutely stunning in the sunny season. Heavy-handedly sweep the highlighter from our Lustrous Contour Duo along the tops of the cheekbones, on the tip of the nose, and across the cupid's bow. Or go for an even stronger shine by utilizing our Opal Water Color and blending in for a magical luminosity.


4. High-Shine Lips.

Lips take the cake this season as the point of interest in your makeup look. Electrifying and glossy is the way to go! Choose a color that says "wow!", the bolder the better and then lay on the lacquer. Our Lip Glazes come in richly-pigmented, high-shine shades that will add the cherry on top of your spring glam.


This spring's trends are all about big color and knowing when to glow. Shop your seasonal beauty bag essentials here!

Beauty Hacks From the Osmosis Experts


We all have our "secret weapons" when it comes to our beauty routine. Here at Osmosis, we love to pass our hacks around HQ as everyone is always coming up with different creative ways to mix, enhance, or apply products that create new and improved results! So, we decided to share them with you! Tune in as Team Osmosis shares some of our favorite tips and tricks on how to get creative with your Osmosis products for unique, multi-purpose results.

Founder/Formulator & CEO, Dr. Ben Johnson - Serum Cocktail

"My latest routine is that I try to get in at least 3 pumps of Renew and 3 pumps of Catalyst AC-11 every day. Since Renew is not sensitizing and Catalyst is dark, this combo works so well to maximize my skin's rejuvenation efforts."





Osmosis President, Robin McGee - Conceal, don't Peel

"One of my favorite tricks is to utilize the moisture stick from our Age-Defying Treatment Concealer on my lips for a supple, hydrated look. Then, I apply the concealer itself before adding Lip Liner or Lipstick to keep it from running into any fine lines! This is my secret weapon for a perfect pucker every day!"


Director of Sales, Claudia - A Walk Through the Tropics

"I love putting Tropical Mango Mask on my feet at night, then sleeping with socks on. I wake up with the most silky-soft feet! If you have a job where you're on your feet all day, this is a must-try treatment, it works like a charm!"

Director of Education, Kristin - Fill the Fine Lines

"I always use Refresh PM on my lips before applying color. It conditions them and feels sooo good! Plus, it's liquid crystal component adds a lovely shimmer to a matte lipstick! I also like to pat the eye serum over my makeup on my orbital bone and upper cheeks to soften the appearance of crows feet and deliver a subtle highlight."

Director of Web & Social Media, Diane - Multi-Tasking Heroes

"As a busy mom, runner, and working professional, multi-tasking and efficiency are the tricks of my trade. I love when I can knock out two birds with one stone to help shave a few minutes off my morning routine. One of my favorites is mixing CC Cream with a bit of Quench for light coverage and moisture. And I rarely leave the house without a touch of concealer under my eyes and Mascara to help me look and feel more refreshed and put-together."

Graphic Designer, Elle - Super-Supplements

"I don't go a day without taking Environmental Detox, it's my saving grace! I love taking it in the morning with breakfast and right after my afternoon yoga. It helps control my oily skin and keeps me feeling healthy and energized!"

Spring Beauty Hacks!




With the changing of the seasons comes the need to perk up your beauty routine. We love a good hack and this season we've got all you need to put a spring in your step and get glowing.

Hack 1 - Blush: We love using Nude Bliss Blush as a shimmery nude eye shadow. This dusty shimmer with a hint of rose tone is perfect for a springy swipe of color. Simply apply this shade to your lids (from lash line to crease), add a thin line of black Liquid Eye Definer and a coat of Mascara for the perfect nude spring look.






Hack 2 - Get dewey, soft skin with your coverage! Immerse and Pressed Base. Apply Immerse to your skin, while it is still tacky, use our Base Brush to apply your pressed base for a dewy finish with medium coverage. We love mixing our foundation up each season to accommodate our skin as it changes with the weather and this combo is the tops for healthy looking skin.





Hack 3 -  Treat your winter scalp with some spring loving. Combine 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and two pumps of Replenish for the perfect antioxidant scalp treatment. Heat your coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl for 12-15 seconds, then mix Replenish in with the melted oil. Apply to your scalp and massage. Wrap your hair in a soft t-shirt and hit the pillow. Wash your hair in the morning and enjoy a healthy, flake-free, happy scalp.





Hack 4 - Anti-Highlighter. Unless you are completely unplugged, you know that highlighting has become its own entity equipped with a healthy amount of followers. We love a good highlight just as much as the next gal, but we also love a more subtle glow sometimes. That's where our Age Defying Treatment Concealer comes in. Use the balm to add a pretty, soft focused highlight look to your cheeks, brow bone, cupid's bow, and chin.





Hack 5 - Soothe irritated winter skin. Now that winter is long gone, it's time to take a look at treating your legs. We know that the cold months leave us feeling little to no pressure to shave our legs... we also know that once spring is here and we do shave, we are left with a little razor burn and extra dry legs! We love using Repair as a leg mask post-shaving. This helps lessens those post shave bumps. Simply apply a thin layer of Repair to damp legs and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then rinse and follow with a gentle toxin-free moisturizer.


Now that you have our favorite spring hacks, learn where to shop for them here for a refreshed spring beauty routine.

Beauty Hacks: Fall and Winter Survival Hacks







It's finally the end of makeup meltdown season. No more sweaty faces with foundation, mascara and eyeliner running amok, and no more lightweight moisturizers. It's time to bring in the big guns for fall and winter! This time of year brings dryer weather, which means dry skin, hair and nails, and cough, cough... the common cold. Lucky for you we have our favorite hacks to share with you to help you transition to the new season. 

Immerse Hack: Immerse is a secret multi-tasker. We love using the rich Emu Oil based product on our skin for an action packed dose of moisture but, we also love massaging it onto the ends of our hair, scalp, and nail beds.




Polish and Refresh PM: Can you say, LIP TREATMENT!!! Keep your lips plump and healthy this season. Lightly massage Polish onto dry, clean lips. Let it sit for 1 minute then wipe away with a warm wash cloth. Follow this by slathering Refresh PM on and around the lip area. We love this mini treatment before bed, you will wake up with healthy, smooth, plump lips. You can definitely say "I woke up like this."





Restore, Hydralift Firming Gel Mask and Baking Soda: Mix one pump of Restore, 1 tsp of Hydralift and 1 tsp of baking soda into a paste. Spread the paste on yellowing nails and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Wash away with warm water and gentle soap to lift summer nail polish stains and treat your cuticles to some major hydration!






Lip Dupe: Looking for the perfect dupe to the Reality Celeb's Lip Line (name rhymes with Tylie Kenner)? Line and fill in your lips with our Brown Eye Pencil, top with Aura Lip Gloss for a sexy, fall trend that's to die for!









Prime your Skin: This fall and winter is bound to bring on some dry, flaky skin. Mix one pump of Immerse with a wipe of our Age Defying Treatment Concealer for the perfect, skin blurring primer. You'll get flawless looking skin and all the moisture your little heart can handle!
