MeetTheFounder
Welcome to Oceanista!
Founded in 2017 by Jennifer Sterling, an Oceanista of half Thai and half Polish descent, our journey began with a deep love for the ocean, inspired by the beaches of Hawaii, Florida, and the Indiana Dunes, where Jennifer grew up. Settling in Huntington Beach, California, this love has only deepened, and we're thrilled to share it with women around the world who resonate with our passion.
Jennifer, embodying the spirit of an Oceanista, draws inspiration from the ocean's power, the exfoliating sand, and the sun's revitalizing energy. Her diverse background as an restaurateur, nurse aesthetician, and former flight attendant fuels her mission to bring coastal charm and beauty into the lives of like-minded women.
We started with curated subscription boxes filled with beach-themed treasures from various brands. However, last year, we made a pivotal decision to focus exclusively on creating our own branded products. This shift allows us to deliver the highest quality, ocean-inspired items that truly reflect our vision.
At Oceanista, we're all about Seaside, Self-Care, and Serenity. We believe that taking care of yourself should be just as enjoyable as soaking up the sun on a beautiful beach. That's why we've curated a collection of beach-inspired products that help you relax, rejuvenate, and unwind. From handmade candles that transport you to the beach with their sea-salt and sand scents, to natural skincare that nourishes and hydrates your skin, to stunning beach accessories that complement your beachy lifestyle, we've got you covered.
Environmental Commitment
We are dedicated to environmental stewardship, reflecting our respect for God's creation. Our products are crafted with sustainability in mind, using materials that respect the Earth. In line with Genesis 2:15, we take seriously our role in cultivating and preserving God's garden, the Earth.
Celebrate Seaside, Self-Care, and Serenity with us. Let's catch some waves, bask in the sun and saltwater, and enjoy the ocean's beauty and tranquility together, all while respecting and preserving the natural world.

Pleased First-Time Customer!
Very pleased with my purchases. The Sea of Love hoodie has a lovely design and the material is substantial without being bulky. Also really like the kimono and the harem pants, and everything fits, so sizing was true. Will shop here again.
