CHEERS TO THREE YEARS! 

Biossance was born in 2017 with the mission to be the leader in clean beauty. Just three years later, we’re full of gratitude as we reflect on the impact we’ve made in the clean beauty space. Thank you for being on this journey with us. Join us as we look back on our accomplishments and look forward to a very bright (and very clean) 2020.

OUR IMPACT + ACCOMPLISHMENTS

OUR 2020 RESOLUTIONS 

This is going to be a big year for Biossance. We’re more committed than ever to leading the way in clean beauty and sustainability, and our 2020 resolutions are evidence of our deepened dedication. Read on to learn more about our new goals, from making a global environmental impact to kicking off local partnerships to volunteering in our community. 

• - Target zero waste by 2025. We’re incorporating post-consumer recycled materials into our packaging, offsetting our carbon emissions, developing a packaging return redemption program and reviewing our office paper and plastic consumption.
• - Establish partnerships to support ocean conservation and protection.. We chose our partners because of their outstanding dedication to ocean and shark conservancy. 
• - Carbon-neutral shipping for Biossance.com. Carbon-neutral shipping works by offsetting greenhouse gas emissions produced by shipping products to our customers.
• - Tighten our ingredient-sourcing standards. Our product formulation manager specializes in green chemistry and works with all of our ingredient vendors to ensure ethical sourcing.
• - We want to make the world a better place! We’re gearing up for multiple volunteer events throughout the year that align with our ocean and shark conservancy efforts.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Our Best-Selling Vitamin C Rose Oil

by Beth Wischnia July 08, 2020

Three years ago, we launched this facial oil as our second product, after our head-to-toe hydrating 100% Squalane Oil. Our team of scientists set out to create another powerfully hydrating formula except this time, we wanted to make our first skincare product specifically for the face–one that still features the weightless hydration of squalane while also offering additional treatment benefits. Our standout formula comes packed with an exclusive set of ingredients that work together to visibly hydrate, firm, and give skin a healthy, radiant glow.

Put Skin Health First With Our New Squalane Hand Sanitizer

by Beth Wischnia July 06, 2020

Clean, healthy hands are more important than ever. While hand sanitizing is an easy and effective way to defend against harmful germs and bacteria, too much of certain hand sanitizer formulas can strip the skin of much-needed moisture, leaving it feeling dehydrated, irritated, and red. With this in mind, Biossance is excited to deliver the ultimate hand sanitizer to help: a hyper-effective and hydrating solution that uses scientific expertise to give you the softest, healthiest hands.

It All Started With Sharks

by Beth Wischnia June 29, 2020

Ever since Biossance began, we’ve been on a mission to save the ocean’s apex predators. This species has long been hunted for its squalene, an oil in their livers used in skincare and makeup products. As a vegan alternative, our scientists pioneered renewable sugarcane-derived squalane. Thanks to this innovation, 2 million of these critical members of the ocean ecosystem are saved every year.
