What the gurus are saying

The experts who reviewed it praise the product for being hydrating and versatile, and they're particularly impressed by Biossance's bioengineered approach to making squalane from renewable sources like sugarcane and corn rather than through extraction that harms ecosystems. One creator notes the brand's hempsqualane molecule is engineered to be smaller so it penetrates skin more easily. At this price point, the gurus see it as a solid option for those wanting a clean, effective oil without the environmental footprint of conventional squalane. The read is limited so far, but early takes are uniformly positive.

"I also like Biossance Squalane Oil."
Approved
"Biossance, I've been so fascinated they use sugarcane to make squalane so like they use sugarcane and then they bioengineer yeast to convert the sugar cane into squalane. It's really cool."
Approved
"I use the 100% squalane to shave my legs with, shave under my arms with. I'm happy for the kids to use it. Biossance created hempsqualane, which is a squalane molecule which they derive from corn and then they basically feed the corn to the bacteria, the bacteria produce the squalane and then it's half the size so it goes into the skin more, hydrating, amazing."
Approved
"I love the jojoba and the squalane, but you know what, if you want to be bougie, Biossance has it in a way that doesn't destroy the planet for literally $65."
