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.

Love the product; bottle not so much
I really enjoy this formulation for my aging skin. I have tried many oils and have settled on squalane as my overall body oil. It keeps my 60 year old skin from looking crepey. Whie I love the product, there is something wrong with the bottle. I see that others have had leaking problems with it as I have. I like the pump delivery and don't think that that is the issue. But I will continue to buy because the oil is fabulous!

Fave, but bottle leaks
I am in love with the oil! Super hydrating and long lasting on the skin. However, I think I got a defective bottle/pump because the pump leaks. I often find that there is oil all over the bottom portion of the pump and my bottle in a pool of oil on the counter. I don't like that it seems to waste a good portion of the product.

So Moisturizing!
I have tried many oils over the years but this oil is amazing. It sinks in quickly but leaves behind tons of moisture.

The Best but Getting Too Expensive
This is the best squalane oil available I believe. However, I hope biossance is able to lower the price or give more product for what you pay. For the amount you get $34 is way too much. And I'm scared it will continue to go up . So 3.3 oz will eventually cost $40 or more at this rate. that's not practical. I'm going to have to figure how to make it myself if it does lol. Please make it more affordable. Thanks.

Scent is WAY TO STRONG
I quickly scanned through the reviews and haven't seen anything from others about the scent, so this may just be a defective bottle with way to much scent added? I used it once and got super nauseous because of how powerful the scent was so I couldn't use it anymore. My husband started using it on his beard right before he leaves for work and all of his co-workers comment on the scent as well --and he works outside. Clearly, there's something about what we got as no one else has mentioned it. So I'm not sure about its effectiveness as I can't use it, but my experience with it is only 1 star.

Ok so Far.
So far it seems to be ok. I'm not really sure as I haven't used it long enough I don't think.....just a few days. But I actually put a bit on my legs yesterday after my showerand definitely my neck and lower chest.
