WHO IS BIOSSANCE?
Combining pioneering scientific research with a commitment to sustainability, Biossance is leading skin care into a new age... One that prioritises product efficacy without compromising the environment. Centred around the ethically and sustainably sourced squalane the brand gathers from sugarcane, Biossance is famed for its range of ultra-hydrating skin care saviours powered by this potent antioxidant.
But first things first…
WHAT IS SQUALANE
Essentially, squalane is a modified form of squalene - a lipid produced naturally by the human body which makes up 13% of our skin’s natural oils. Squalane is an important ingredient for locking in moisture, improving elasticity and balancing oil production without clogging your pores. Not only that, it’s absorbed a staggering 30x better than other oils, while also enhancing the delivery of other skin care actives.
This superstar skin care ingredient is traditionally derived from shark liver oil, but most brands opt for plant-based sustainable sources instead. As such, Biossance uses 100% sugarcane-derived squalane which is ethically and sustainably sourced.
Now we understand more about this superstar ingredient, let’s get into some of the best of Biossance.
