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.

Oilyer than "The Vitamin C Rose Face Oil "...but Love "100% Squalane Oil"
I fell in love with "The Vitamin C Rose Face Oil" that I had to buy "The 100% Squalane Oil" as well. I applied "The 100% Squalane Oil this morning and it was much more greasier than "The Vitamin C Rose Face Oil" but as you let it stand for a minute it starts seeping int your skin and your skin is no longer shiny and oily, but soft and smooth. When I apply "The Vitamin C Rose Face Oil" it seeps right in or it looks less shiny and less oily when applied and I only have to wait a few seconds before applying my makeup. I also applied this oil to my hair. I have super dry thin, hair so I applied a small amount of drops. Then I blow dried and straightened and applied/distributed a few more drops. My hair was not sticky or oily afterwards and is not as I type this review. I wanted to use the 100% Squalane Oil and the The Vitamin C Rose Face Oil together, like for example apply one on top of the other, but a Biossance representative said he/she does not suggest me doing that so I am going to alternate between the two products. I am going to apply "The 100% Squalane Oil" daily in the mornings and at night and then figure out which of the two I prefer. However, I am thinking I love BOTH! I will continue to buy both for as long as they are sold. So far, both are great products that I am glad I discovered. I obtained another small sample of "The Vitamin C Rose Face Oil" with my order and I wanted to keep it so bad, but instead I gave it away so that another person can discover Biossance the same way I did and maybe she will fall in love with the product as well.

Lovely addition
I've tried nearly all of the Biossance line and there's a lot to love. This squalene oil is the perfect addition to my routine… I add a few drops to the Omega Repair cream for my nighttime routine and my skin is hydrated and happy. In the morning, before walking the dog, I put a little under my eyes, on my neck, and on my hands. It's like a little drink for my skin.

Great Product
I've suffered from very dry skin on my hands for most of my life. When my kids were young, we'd joke about my hands being like sandpaper because they were so dry and cracked that sometimes they'd bleed, and putting some moisturizers on them hurt as a result. My daughter got me a bottle of the 100% Squalane Oil, and it was won me over. I keep it by my bed on my nightstand and use it on my hands daily. The 100% Squalane Oil has made my extra dry hands livable again and much softer. The improvement was noticeable basically immediately. I believe so much in this product that it is my go-to gift for relatives and family friends.

Love
This is a must-have for me! It’s a perfect oil for my combination skin. I live in Colorado (dry) and use it all seasons. Sometimes I’ll use it after retinol. It light and does not clog my pores. I’ll even use it on my feet at night sometimes. It’s mild but definitely “does the trick”.

Great Product
I love this squalane oil. I use it mostly on my face and neck. My skin is acne prone and sensitive but combination--I get dry patches and am prone to occasional eczema. I like this oil because it's a do-no-harm product fail-safe for me. If I get an allergic reaction to something else or suddenly break out, I know I can rely on this product to provide gentle, easily absorbed moisture and it won't cause any further irritation. It also performs well after applying retinol. With continued use of this product my skin has become overall less sensitized. I think that's because this product is literally as simple as it gets, just one ingredient. It does provide an instant "glow" when you apply it, not in a greasy way, it just makes you look luminous and fresh. It performs well under most makeup because it absorbs into the skin. I also think this product provides excellent value to use as a face oil because the bottle is quite large and you only need a few drops. I bought mine in March and I still have about half the bottle left with frequent use. You should try this product if you have sensitive skin or are looking for lightweight moisture. It's very basic but sometimes that's just what you need.

Liking it!
This was my first time trying this item. I put it on before bed (on top of Kinship moisturizer) and my face feels soft and not dry in the am and throughout the day!

Amazing Product
Recently started Biossance upon recommendation for a friend to deal with the impacts of cold weather impacts (I live in Toronto) on my normally dry skin. It's proper miraculous in its effects. After experimenting with various high end skin products (aloe this, organic rose extract that, etc.) I finally settled on Biossance as my go to moisturizer. A few drops in the morning keeps my face looking and feeling great all day all day irrespective of the weather. Amazing product, highly recommend.
