Meet Dunaliella Salina
Nature's Most Powerful Ingredient
for Baby Skin
The single-cell green microalgae behind every Oeight product. Clinically studied, internationally patented, and trusted by dermatologists for sensitive, newborn, and eczema-prone skin.
The Science
What Is Dunaliella Salina?
Dunaliella Salina is a single-celled green microalgae naturally found in the Dead Sea and other high-salinity waters around the world. It's one of nature's richest sources of beta-carotene ‚ a precursor to Vitamin A ‚ as well as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, omega fatty acids, and essential minerals.
What makes it extraordinary for baby skincare is its extreme biological resilience. To survive in harsh, salty environments, Dunaliella Salina produces massive quantities of protective antioxidants and nutrients. Those very compounds are what make it so uniquely effective at protecting, nourishing, and calming delicate skin.
Unlike synthetic vitamins added after the fact, the nutrients in Dunaliella Salina are bioavailable ‚meaning baby's skin can actually absorb and use them. Our proprietary extraction method preserves the full spectrum of active compounds in every drop.

Antioxidant Protection
High beta-carotene and Vitamin E content neutralize free radicals, shielding baby's skin from environmental stressors.

Clinically shown to reduce skin inflammation and redness ‚ ideal for babies with sensitive skin, newborn rashes, and diaper irritation.
