Our squalane is 100% sustainably derived from sugarcane. While traditionally squalane has been harvested from shark liver, we developed our own alternative that is completely plant-based. Squalane is a hydrogenated form of squalene. Squalene is not known to be a stable component for use in cosmetics. Rest assured that our squalane has been clinically tested for safety and efficacy. Additionally, our sugarcane-derived squalane is a sustainable alternative to the historical production method of squalene from shark liver. Our background in biotechnology allows us to create products that are clean and free of potentially harmful ingredients, as well as being sustainably sourced.
