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.
How To Use: Apply to face, body and hair as needed. Great after the shower and post-sun exposure. Safe for all ages.
For face, rub a small amount together between hands to warm. Pat gently onto face, neck and décolleté. For body, massage a few pumps onto skin immediately after showering. For hair, rub a small amount between hands and smooth through dry or wet hair to add shine and tame flyaways, split ends and frizz.
When To Use: Day and night, head-to-toe.
Layering Tip: Start with your cleanser, next, apply eye treatment, follow with a serum and finally your moisturizer. Apply 100% Squalane Oil last to lock in hydration.

Very, Very, Very Impressive!
In all honesty, I wanted to write a review the first day I used it. I just thought it was so wonderful. But I decided to wait a little bit to see proper results in order to give a good review. Now, it’s not common for me to write a review on anything, I practically never do. I either love it or I don’t. However, this product is very impressive. I’ve been using it everyday, twice a day, for a little over a week now... My redness and dryness has dissipated, my skin is smoother than it’s ever been, I haven’t had one acne breakout... The list could go on and on. Simply put, this is a miracle oil. I also need to note that this oil is great for tattoos, too. I recently got one on my arm about 2 weeks before I bought this product, and decided to try it out on my new ink as a moisturizer. Needless to say, it’s perfect for keeping the healing skin moisturized, and the ink perfectly conditioned without being too thick or tacky. It’s literally good for everything (hair, chapped lips, tattoos, acne, and etc.) I’m highly amazed! Thank you so much for this wonderful product!

I always get a compliment
Everytime i use it at night, i always get a compliment about my skin the next day, since i dont do it consistently coz i always forget. And i just use it by itself at night, massage it in and see the miracle in the morning. I even think it made my dark blemishes lighter and fade away.

Very lightweighted and easily be absorbed
Really high quality product that won’t leave any greasy unpleasant feeling when applying it. Also bought probiotic moisturiser. 5 stars product as well. Just wonder if I can use them on my 5 year old daughter’s face or do you have any suggested products for the children.

No Shark Fins, Great Hydration
First of all I love that this product could prevent sharks from being killed for their fins and that the parent company donates malaria preventative! Thanks, Biossance and Amyris! I wish more companies had such values. I got the sample then ordered the big bottle of 100% squalene and eye peptide. They are both so clean feeling. Not greasy, not shiny, just a soft glow that feels great. Also, no scent, which is important for me where I work. The coverage is amazing - just three drops for my whole face and neck. I'm buying the essential oil and squalene for gifts.

LOVE
I have extremely sensitive skin and this product has been amazing to me. Even though everyone says oils are therapeutic for your face, I have not been able to find any that don't make me break out (even supposedly safe ones like Jojoba) - didn't work for me. Biossance has evened my skin tone, reduced redness, and seems to make break outs less problematic if they do happen (they heal faster and don't get as irritated). It really just gives you a lovely glow and honestly I have never experienced that with any product - not being paid to say this! I think either oil works well, but I really like the one with rose and vitamin c - it seems to be more soothing and calming overall. I was hesitant about this product because of it being "bio-engineered" (seemed unnatural) but I'm convinced now. Thanks Biossance!

Woah
They deleted my initial comment- This is SHARK LIVER OIL and it takes thousands of dead sharks to make. Find something else to feed your vanity.
