Before Biossance, the closest natural equivalent to our skin's moisturizing oil was sourced from shark livers. Our bioengineered squalane—what is squalane—not only exceeds this in purity and efficacy but does so ethically and safely for sharks. This squalane is derived from sustainably grown Brazilian sugarcane, processed in an eco-friendly facility that uses minimal waste and maximizes local economic benefits. The sugarcane juice undergoes fermentation to isolate emollient compounds, resulting in pure, weightless, odorless squalane oil—squalane benefits—that forms the backbone of every Biossance product.
Our products, centered around squalane, perfectly match the moisture found in human skin, offering immediate hydration, locking in essential moisture, and supporting the skin's microbiome. Recognized by the National Eczema Association, our squalane not only calms and protects the skin but also enhances skin elasticity and boosts the efficacy of other skincare actives. Understanding what is squalane and recognizing its significant squalane benefits illuminates how our formulations transform daily skincare into effective, nurturing routines that promote healthier, resilient skin.
