Biossance

One sugarcane oil, engineered into a whole shelf: the squalane house, read product by product

Biossance is built on a single ingredient decision. Squalane is a lipid human skin makes for itself, and the traditional sources for it in cosmetics were shark liver and olives. Biossance instead produces its squalane from sugarcane, fermented and refined into a stable, plant derived oil, and then builds nearly the entire catalogue on top of it. That is why the brand name on almost every jar and bottle in this hub is a formula: Squalane plus one partner. Squalane plus copper peptide. Squalane plus omega lipids. Squalane plus probiotic. The base never changes; the partner decides the job.

Reading the house whole means seeing a system rather than a scatter of products. There is a cleansing oil to start, three distinct serums that divide firmness, tone and the retinol free brief between them, two face oils that are really one oil with and without a treatment active, and three moisturizers that split by texture: a whipped lipid cream, a balancing gel and a balmy overnight rescue. What follows ranks the brand's own catalogue against itself, explains where each format of the same squalane earns its place, and keeps every claim in the appearance terms the formulas can honestly support.

Biossance Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum dark green dropper bottle with cream label, 1.69 oz — Biossance Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum: the leading pickThe Biossance Edit

No. 1

The Leading Three

The top of the ranked guide, in brief. The full ranking sits in the best-of.

No. 1

Biossance Squalane + Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum

Best Overall

The house's headline serum: a copper peptide for the look of firmness, carried in a plumping complex of hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid and the brand's own squalane.

The serum the house is known by, and the one bottle that shows the whole design: Copper Tripeptide-1 for the look of firmness, a Rapid Plumping Complex that makes skin look full on contact, and the sugarcane squalane base underneath. At 50 ml, fragrance free and EWG Verified on its listing, it is also the easiest Biossance purchase to justify. If the brand gets one chance on your shelf, this is the bottle that should take it.

Biossance Squalane and Omega Repair Cream green jar with rose gold lid

No. 2

Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream 3.38 fl oz

Best for Dry Skin

The barrier jar: whipped ceramides, plant sterols and omega lipids around sugarcane squalane, in the line's generous jumbo size.

A barrier formula built the way skin builds itself: squalane, omega fatty acids 3, 6 and 9, biomimetic ceramides and plant sterols in a whipped cream with no filler actives and no fragrance. The verified listing is the 3.38 fl oz jumbo jar, which suits the way barrier cream actually gets used: generously, twice a day, without rationing. Dry and sensitive feeling skin starts here.

Suits

Dry and sensitive feeling skin that wants a rich, fragrance free cushion morning or night, and anyone who goes through barrier cream fast enough to want the jumbo jar

Skip if

No. 3

Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil

Best Glow Oil

The glow oil: an oil soluble vitamin C dissolved in the sugarcane squalane base, finished with Chios crystal oil and Damascus rose extract.

The treatment version of the house oil. An oil soluble vitamin C rides in the lightest base in skincare, with Chios crystal oil and Damascus rose extract giving it a ritual character the plain oil deliberately lacks. It seals a routine and brightens the look of skin in the same step, and its light texture makes it the face oil most likely to survive a morning routine under makeup.

Suits

Normal, dry and dull looking skin that wants its brightening step and its oil step in one bottle, and readers new to face oils who want a light first oil with an active in it.

Skip if

You avoid scent character in leave on products. The Damascus rose extract gives this oil a noticeable rose scent, and the pure squalane oil below is the scent free route to the same base.

Size: 30 ml / 1 fl oz
Format: Dropper facial oil
Key ingredients: Squalane, vitamin C, Chios crystal oil, Damascus rose extract
Use: Press a few drops onto clean skin morning and night, after serum and moisturiser to seal, as directed on the listing
Formula note: Vegan, plant derived squalane base, as printed on the bottle
