Biossance is paving the path for clean beauty for all. We formulate effective, clean and sustainable skincare products in our in-house lab and are setting the standard for the entire beauty industry. Currently, the United States bans only 12 ingredients for cosmetic use—we believe that’s not nearly enough. Biossance bans more than 2,000 potentially toxic or irritating ingredients from our formulas. Our products are also cruelty-free, vegan and EWG-verified. We make our hero ingredient, squalane, from renewable sugarcane. It’s nature’s best moisturizer for you and the planet—and helps save 2 million sharks every year.
