Squalane: Biossance's Sustainably Derived Squalane Makes the Perfect Gift for Aging Skin by Belinda Lichty Clarke

Squalane might sound like the name of one of your kid's favorite Pokemon, but in fact, it's powerful, skin-loving molecule that works wonders on aging skin. Biossance is a a science-based skincare company that uses biotech to derive squalane from sugarcane instead of more common, non-sustainable methods. 

Described as "biology's best moisturizer," the human body produces its own version of squalane, but the amount we make and retain decreases over time. According to Mollie Jensen, Biossance's senior manager of product marketing, “Squalane is a lightweight emollient that helps preserve and maintain hydration, leaving skin feeling exceptionally soft and smooth. It also helps to reduce redness and irritation, and is especially calming to the skin after sun exposure.”
