Oceans Unite
The idea for Oceans of Blessings came from the Ocean twins — Allyson and Jennifer Ocean, who are passionate about using clean beauty products - i.e., products that do not contain harmful or toxic ingredients. Dr. Allyson Ocean, a leading medical oncologist in New York City at Weill Cornell/NewYork Presbyterian Hospital, is devoted to treating patients with gastrointestinal cancers and also promotes the use of safe skincare and beauty products to patients undergoing treatment for cancer. Oceans of Blessings was created to provide healthier beauty product alternatives to patients undergoing cancer therapy and to spread the message about the importance of using safe, non-toxic beauty and skincare products every day.
Each of our members of the Board of Directors has been touched by cancer in a profound way — all are either cancer survivors, physicians that treat patients with cancer or caregivers of loved ones dealing with cancer.

Our Mission
To provide healthier skincare and beauty alternatives for patients undergoing cancer treatment by giving a bag filled with safe, non-toxic skincare and beauty products that help address issues faced throughout the cancer journey. Oceans of Blessings will provide education, patient support and healthier product alternatives to assist with cancer care and prevention.
Partnerships
Oceans of Blessings will partner with safe and clean skincare and cosmetics companies to help spread awareness of the importance of using safe, non-toxic, and non-carcinogenic formulas throughout your daily beauty regimen. We seek to partner with cancer-fighting organizations focusing on education, prevention and early detection such as the American Cancer Society, Skin Cancer Foundation, Breast Cancer Research Fund, Let’s Win Pancreatic Cancer, and the Lustgarten Foundation to name a few, to help spread awareness of our mission.
We welcome the support of companies that make safe, clean skincare and cosmetics and ask for donations of products to be included in the Beauty Blessings Bags for patients undergoing cancer treatment. If you are interested in partnering with us, please email us at oceansblessings@gmail.com.
