What It Is

A weightless, multitasking pure squalane oil harvested from renewable sugarcane that rapidly hydrates from head to toe. Squalane is bioidentical to the moisture found in human skin, meaning it absorbs effortlessly and replenishes hydration without leaving any heavy residue.

Biossance’s signature ingredient 100% sugarcane squalane sits at the heart of every formula they make. It’s purer, more ethical, and more effective than animal-derived alternatives. By choosing plant-derived squalane, Biossance helps save approximately 2 million sharks per year that would otherwise be hunted for their liver oil.
