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.

Amazing.
I have keratosis pilaris (KP, chicken skin etc) on my upper arms. I’ve been mixing this in with my daily lotion. My skin isn’t perfect but it’s never been this smooth and hydrated.

Lightweight oil
This is my second time purchasing this oil and so glad it comes in a bigger size. I will continue to repurchase because not only do I enjoy it, but my older daughter as well

Love this!
Bought this on a whim this past year and so so happy I did. I actually initially mixed it into my lotion for added moisture during the winter. During the summer I've used just this and my extremely dry, eczema ridden skin has been much better. Love it so much that I just purchased the larger size. A little goes a long way with this but it has zero greasy residue. Love this!

how did i live before this product?
i stumbled onto the magic of biossance when sephora had the hand sanitizer on display to try. i have terrible eczema on two of my fingers and with covid and constantly washing and sanitizing my hands, it's been quite a battle with keeping it at bay. i was shocked as i rubbed it into my hands that there was no burning or irritation, but instead my hands felt hydrated and my eczema was just fine. i was so amazed and thus began my research of the brand and the power of scqalane! after buying buckets of hand sanitizer, i decided to give the 100% squalane oil a try because might as well go to the source! i've never been a fan of lotion or oil, so i started small with just putting a tiny bit on my fingers- now i can't get enough!! i use it all over my body and in my hair. my skin has never been more hydrated and glowing!! the best part is- i can use this product and many others in the brand without irritating my eczema!! i just wish i had stumbled into biossance sooner :)

Wonderful!
I love this product. It is not greasy yet very moisturizing to my dry mature skin. I have used a drop of it with moisturizer when I am extra dry and it is beautiful. I particularly love that Biossance has a great price on this product twice yearly. I have even given it as a gift. Who wouldn’t like this product? Best on the market of this type from sugarcane.

All Time Favorite!
I’ve tried lots of oils and always come back to this one. It is without a doubt the best I’ve ever used! Additionally, it is the only one I know of that is made from sugar and not olives. Don’t miss out on trying this one—works so well on my dry mature skin and for so many things!
