The two ingredients we make, squalane and hemisqualane, are 100% plant-derived from sustainably-sourced sugarcane in Brazil. The sugarcane grown in Brazil is one of the most sustainable sources of sugar. The sugarcane field we utilize is next to the production facility where the bagasse from the sugarcane stock is used for energy co-generation and the excess energy is released back to the power grid. There is no additional water needed to produce the sugar outside of natural rainfall.
