When former athlete Marley Finn talks about balance, he’s not referring to just the physical kind. It’s a philosophy that extends to how he eats, moves, and now, how he creates. That idea sits at the heart of OMOSS, the UK’s first ready-to-drink sea moss beverage that’s quietly reshaping how people think about wellness.
Launched in 2025, the brand has already been crowned Best New Organic Drink Product at the Natural & Organic Innovation Awards, but its real success lies in something deeper: a return to nature’s rhythm.
So, can a centuries-old ocean superfood really redefine modern hydration?
A taste of the tide
For generations, sea moss (Chondrus Crispus) has been woven into the cultural fabric of Ireland and the Caribbean. Known as a “strengthening tonic,” it was used to restore energy, aid digestion, and support the immune system. It’s one of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet, packed with iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, yet naturally light in calories and fat.
But for most, it wasn’t the easiest thing to love. Its texture was thick and slippery; its taste, distinctly oceanic. Finn, who discovered its benefits during his athletic career, knew the ingredient had untapped potential. What if the power of sea moss could be bottled: clean, refreshing, and effortless?
Working alongside a team of UK food scientists, he set out to do exactly that. The result was OMOSS: a smooth, functional beverage made with 50% pure organic Irish sea moss extract, sustainably harvested from the wild Atlantic coastline. Each recipe is layered with botanicals that complement both flavour and function, striking a balance between science and simplicity.
Clean delivers crisp hydration with lime and monk fruit.
Pomegranate pairs Ashwagandha, Gotu Kola, and Holy Basil for adaptogenic calm.
Tropical blends mango, Lion’s Mane, and Ginkgo Biloba for cognitive support.
Each 250ml bottle retails at £4.50, free from sugar, preservatives, and artificial flavours, a rare example of wellness that’s both indulgent and honest.
From athlete’s ritual to everyday renewal
Finn’s journey from professional sport to entrepreneurship wasn’t driven by performance metrics but by a desire for reconnection, to his body, his values, and the natural world. He envisioned a drink that supported active living without the noise of marketing jargon or synthetic additives.

That same philosophy runs through every element of OMOSS. Each flavour encourages a moment of pause; hydration as a form of self-care rather than a means to an end. It’s designed not just for athletes, but for anyone navigating the pace of modern life and seeking something cleaner, calmer, and more conscious.
Turning tides, literally
The OMOSS story doesn’t end with what’s inside the bottle. Its mission extends to the ocean itself. The brand donates 4.4% of profits to Project Zero, supporting marine restoration and coral reef protection across the globe.
This partnership comes to life at The Coral Collective’s “Thirty Six for Coral” exhibition at the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera, a landmark event coinciding with the 2025 UN Ocean Conference. Through this initiative, OMOSS stands as the exclusive non-alcoholic beverage sponsor, bringing together art, activism, and ocean conservation under one purpose: to turn the tide on the climate crisis.
For Finn, it’s proof that wellness can be holistic only when it’s reciprocal, when what restores us also restores the planet.
The quiet future of wellness
In a world obsessed with more (more caffeine, more claims, more clutter), OMOSS represents a quieter revolution. It’s not shouting for attention. It’s creating a ripple. Every sip is an invitation to slow down, to nourish, and to think differently about what “wellness” really means.
Because true vitality, as OMOSS reminds us, doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing better. And sometimes, it’s about letting nature do what it’s always done best.
