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.

Awesome addition to my skincare routine!
I have been mixing this with my body moisturizer when I get out of the shower and my skin is SUPER soft and hydrated. Perfect for the colder weather!

A simple woman's go-to!
I have been using Bioassance's squalane oil for a few years now. It is by far the lightest, yet most efficient, moisturizer I have tried. And with just one ingredient, I don't have to sit here and worry about what I'm putting on my face everyday. I have sensitive, combination oily/dry, and acne-prone skin. I don't have a complicated skincare regimen by any means, so this satisfies my very simple morning and nightly ritual. This product allows me to add moisture to my face and neck without clogging pores or leading to a breakout. It also addresses dryness without adverse reactions or eczema flare-ups. I am a huge fan of Biossance's efforts to use sustainable packaging and look forward to more advances in this area in order to keep with the brand. Other than that, I will keep buying this product for years to come!

Good product but awkward packaging
I live at a higher than average elevation and it’s very dry here. This is a great addition to my moisturizer. It’s a dream especially for dry elbows and knees. My sensitive skin loves that there are no additional fragrances. Somehow oil leaks down the stem of the pump and pools at the base, above the gold part of the lid. If it goes unnoticed too long it spills over the edge and gets all over the outside of the bottle. The travel size also leaks oil all over everything else in the bag. A more effective, less wasteful design would be great.

Silky smooth
I love the oil. I use it right out of the shower. The musky scent, smells clean and kind of like a mens cologne. Very hydrating for my skin. I ordered this oil because my skin had been very dry, my skin absorbs it nicely. Does not leave me greasy or get my clothes oily.

ALWAYS GOING TO BE MY GO TO
My very dried out, no humidity here, California skin has taken on it's yesteryear glow. This is a wonderful oil, not greasy, totally absorbent and works in just a few showers leaving you soft and full of moisture. I never thought an oil based product could sit so lightly on the skin but I tried the eye cream a few months ago and it was perfect also. Going to try all the other products as if two are that great, the line must be what I've been looking for over the years. Thanks!

Simply Put.... My #1 Favorite
Love using this for so many reasons. After a shower/bath, before I dry off. This oil leaves my skin hydrated, soft and not greasy. My skin just feels well-nourished. Also, it's a great oil for dry hair. This oil sits in my shower and I always carry a small size with me :)
