Our Story

Transcript of the video:

We're listening to what your skin needs. To what the planet needs. We created a molecular moisture match for your skin sustainably sourced from Brazilian sugarcane. Born in the lab, inspired by nature. The heart of every product. If the planet could speak, if your skin could speak, it would ask for squalane.

CHANGING SKINCARE, THEN THE WORLD

Biossance was born when our scientists invented a skin-identical hydrating molecule—squalane—that’s made from sustainable fermented sugarcane. Creating the world’s most incredible and powerful moisturizer led to creating the world’s most powerful skincare formulas.

BUILDING THE FUTURE WITH BIOTECH

We use first-of-its kind proprietary fermentation technology to biodesign new, high-performing ingredients. The incredible research and development teams in our labs leading the industry with our groundbreaking biotech-born ingredient innovations.

SQUALANE: INSPIRED BY SKIN ITSELF

For generations, the closest thing to our skin’s own moisturizing oils was a substance found in shark livers. Our bioengineered squalane is a molecular match for the moisture found in human skin, and it’s at the heart of every one of our products.
