Biossance is the beauty brand that gives back to the ocean, known for potent, squalane-infused formulas. The brand ensure the squalane used in its products is ethically and sustainably sourced. But what makes it a reliable friend to the water? The squalane used is 100% derived from sugarcane, estimated to keep around 2 million sharks safe from liver harvesting every year! We know sharks play an integral role in the ocean’s ecosystem, meaning its crucial to keep them safe and supported.
The brand’s 100% Squalane Oil is highly versatile and responsibly-sourced, working to nourish hair, skin and body. The plant-based, vegan formula delivers a surge of moisture, replenishing from top-to-toe for a smooth, supple finish:

As someone with an affinity for all things beauty, discovering fantastic new products is my not-so-secret obsession. Over the years I've tried and tested a mountains worth of creams, serums and cleansers, finding some of my favourite 'holy-grail' products along the way. However, I'm always on the lookout for more ways to nourish my hair, perfect my dewy base, or enhance my skincare routine. Working as a beauty blogger for over 3 years, I've been lucky enough to collaborate personally with lots of amazing beauty brands including Christian Dior, The Body Shop and Dermalogica. I've used the Dermalogica special cleansing gel religiously since I first got it and their products are some of my ultimate skincare faves. When it comes to cosmetics, NARS Sheer Glow foundation is definitely my go-to - I live for a light, glowy base!
