Biossance x Oceana Celebrates World Ocean Month

Shark image representing Biotech Beauty, and shark-safe squalane innovation — Our mission of biotech beauty innovation created vegan, shark-safe squalane, and with our partnership with Oceana, we’ve been able to donate more than $500k to help keep our oceans safe, healthy, and abundant.

What is Squalane?

Our sugarcane-derived squalane is the weightless hydrator at the heart of every Biossance product. Squalane was historically derived from the livers of sharks, but ours is created through sugarcane fermentation, helping to save millions of sharks each year.

YOUR HYDRATION TIMELINE

Our body produces less squalene* as we get older. Your body produces it's own squalene which can also be found and harvested in shark livers. We have created our own sugar-cane derived version of suqalene, referred to as squalane to protect sharks and our oceans.
