Squalane is the powerhouse ingredient at the heart of every Biossance formula. It's bioidentical to the moisture found in human skin, making it weightless and instantly absorbed and perfect for use all over the body. Our squalane is derived from sustainable sugarcane, a purer, vegan, more ethical, and more effective version than other forms of squalane. And since it replaces the need for similar moisture taken from the livers of sharks, it saves millions of these critical apex predators per year.
- Squalane oil for the face instantly hydrates and locks in essential moisture.
- Helps boost the absorption of other active ingredients and enables them to work more effectively.
- Promotes microbiome diversity for healthier-looking skin.
- Size: 100mL/3.4oz

JUST ONE INGREDIENT:
Squalane Oil: Weightless, hydrating and high-performing oil, sustainably sourced from sugarcane. Replenishes lost-moisture, helps to maintain hydration and leave the skin exceptionally soft.
1. WHERE DOES YOUR 100% SQUALANE COME FROM? WHY SUGARCANE AND NOT OLIVES?
Traditionally Squalane was harvested from shark liver, though our scientists spent years developing pure Squalane from 100% plant-based, renewable sugarcane. The quality of Squalane produced from olives depends on unreliable factors like weather and crop growth. The quality and purity of our sugarcane Squalane is stable and cost effective.
2. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SQUALANE AND SQUALENE?
The human body produces SqualEne. Squalene is part of our skin's own natural moisture, but the amount made and retained in your skin decreases over time. Our Squalane is a hydrogenated version of Squalene which makes it more suitable for sensitive skin. Additionally, our sugarcane-derived Squalane is a sustainable alternative to the historical production method of squalene from shark liver. Our background in biotechnology allows us to create products that are effective and sustainably sourced wherever possible.
3. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 100% SQUALANE OIL AND SQUALANE + VITAMIN C ROSE OIL? DO I NEED BOTH?
While they both contain super hydrating Squalane, our Vitamin C Rose Oil also contains...(you guessed it!) Vitamin C and rose essential oil, making it suitable for facial use. Our 100% Squalane Oil can be used head-to-toe as an all-over body, face and hair hydrator.
Squalane Oil For Face: Rub a small amount of pure squalane oil together between hands to warm. Pat gently onto face, neck and décolleté.
Squalane Oil For Body: Massage a few pumps onto skin immediately after showering, paying close attention to areas needing extra hydration like arms, legs, and knees.
Squalane Oil For Hair: Rub a small amount of pure squalane oil between hands and smooth through dry or wet hair to add shine and tame flyaways, split ends and frizz.
TIPS:
Use 100% squalane as a cuticle oil.

Lightweight yet powerfully moisturizing
Love this oil! Light enough to use on my face yet also great for my body too. This is my third bottle and I don’t see myself stopping.

My first purchase
This was my first purchase from Biossance! I love this oil. I only need to use it a few times a week. I layer it on top of my moisturizer, then pat the extra on my face, neck, and chest. It doesn’t leave an oily residue and soaks in quickly. So glad I purchased. I find it to be a nice compliment to the other products I use as well.

Not a one trick pony
I add this to my body lotions. And when I do a deep overnight conditioner I add it to my ends only and wash it out the next day. And my ends look smooth and healthy. At night I put it on my chest,neck and hands. I will be buying another one as soon as this is finished.I’ve always wanted to try squalane but It feels wrong and a bit archaic knowing sharks are killed for this. So once I heard of this line I tried the “Mini sets” first and just fell in love. The squalane omega cream I’ve purchased 3 times! And the price point of this line is exactly where I want to be.

This oil is amazing!
I have sensitive acne prone skin - that is combo in the winter (oily forehead, very dry cheeks). I initially received this as a gift and have now purchased more because I pump of two of this mixed in with my moisturizer has done wonders for my extra dry cheeks - without breaking out my skin. LOVE this and highly recommend giving it a try to a bit of extra moisture.

Silky-soft skin with this amazing oil!
This oil is AMAZING! I usually don't like oils, and don't write reviews, but I've been obsessed with Biossance products since I started using them, and I just stocked up for a year! I really appreciate it that they use science to create clean ingredients, are transparent with what's inside each product, and care for the planet. I've received a sample of this oil in the Mega Bag and finished it in a week. I had to order 2 bottles right away as it is not greasy at all and gets absorbed really quickly! I have very dry and flaky skin all over my body and am allergic to many products, but this oil is just amazing. It makes the skin silky-soft! It just transformed my skin!

Yes, the best
Light, hydrating, non-greasy and soaks in quickly. I use this as a body oil rather than a face oil and I see myself ordering this again. Wish I had picked up a second bottle during the sale!

Super Hydrating and Non-Sticky
I have a very sensitive, acne-prone and dry skin. My skin usually tends to get very flaky during winter. I purchased this product on a whim and I kid you not, I LOVE IT. It keeps my face hydrated all day long and has reduced dullness that usually comes with living in colder dry states. I highly recommend this squalane oil if you suffer from dull dry skin. This product lives up to its expectations and bonus point for it being plant sourced and non-sticky! :)

Holy grail
This is amazing stuff. I suffer from dry and sensitive skin and with the cold winter months ahead of us, this oil is an amazing addition to my skincare routine. I am so grateful that there is a company like Biossance who really knows what they’re doing. I took advantage of their sale and glad I did!
