biossance

Launched in 2016 from its Berkeley, California labs, Biossance is a skincare brand born from biotechnology parent company Amyris. The brand’s foundation rests on a breakthrough scientific innovation: a bio-fermented, sugarcane-derived version of squalane, a moisturizing molecule naturally found in human skin. This sustainable squalane, developed by Amyris scientists who had previously created a cure for malaria, serves as the hero ingredient in every product, offering hydration without compromising ethics or the environment by replacing the traditional, shark-derived alternative.
