Biossance’s 100% sugarcane-derived squalane is ethically and sustainably sourced, keeping millions of sharks safe from liver harvesting.
For generations, beauty products were fortified with squalene, a substance that provides exceptional moisture to human skin – but at the cost of millions of sharks, which were slaughtered for their squalene-rich livers.
Biossance imagined something better, that could outperform squalene without decimating this critical species. So their scientists engineered squalane, a hydrator that was purer, more ethical, and vegan. Made from sustainable sugarcane, it is a molecular match for the moisture that’s already a part of human skin, making it an incredibly effective bioidentical hydrator that also saves 2 million sharks per year.
The human body produces its own version of squalane called squalene, but the amount made and retained decreases as you get older. Biossance found a way to produce squalane as safely and effectively as the body does. It comes from 100% plant-based, renewable sugarcane, bio-fermented to create a beautiful end result – highly stable, totally sustainable and eco-friendly squalane.
How does Squalane benefit the skin?
Squalane is the skin’s best moisturiser that is suitable for all skin types because it
- Locks in weightless moisture
- Calms and protects
- Improves elasticity
- Balances oil production without clogging pores.
How to use Squalane
- Face: Gently pat on a small amount to moisturize skin, use as after sun soother, as shave oil and soothing post-shave or apply as lip moisture and lip colour primer .
- Body: Massage into skin after showering, paying extra attention to dry areas, use as cuticle and nail moisturiser, smoothing foot moisturiser or to get skin glowing.
- Hair: Smooth sparingly through dry or wet hair to tame flyaways, split ends and frizz, create the perfect sleek ponytail or make a hair moisture mask.
