According to a study by the World Wildlife Fund, roughly 50% of marine life populations have disappeared since 1970, but it’s not too late to reverse the damage. As the world’s largest international advocacy group focused solely on ocean conservation, Oceana is working to protect sensitive habitats and help restore our oceans’ biodiversity and abundance.
If we want these efforts to be successful, every one of us has a role to play. You can get involved directly at Oceana.org and by giving back through this limited edition Gift Size Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum that we created for Giving Tuesday.Our Limited-Edition Giving Tuesday Skincare Gift

At Biossance, our commitment to the ocean runs deep. For generations, beauty products were fortified with squalane - an exceptional moisturizer naturally found in human skin - at the cost of millions of sharks, harvested for their squalene-rich livers. Our team of UC Berkeley scientists discovered how to engineer a plant-based version of squalene - called squalane - from fermenting sustainable sugarcane and yeast, similar to how beer and wine have been made for hundreds of years. This new, ethically-sourced and vegan squalane is a molecular match for the moisture found in our skin. Our squalane is purer, more stable, effective, and sustainable than shark squalane and it doesn’t have the environmental impact of the other traditional alternative, olive-derived squalane. Compared to olive-derived squalane, sugarcane squalane reduces land use 600-fold and minimizes environmental impact and water usage.
Our mission of science-driven, sustainable beauty beautifully compliments Oceana’s policy-driven approach. When we started working together in 2020, our partnership was a natural match. With our community’s help (that meansyou!) we’ve been able to donate more than $300,000 to Oceana so far and adopted more than 5,000 sharks. Shark adoption is a symbolic gesture that helps support Oceana campaigns like banning the shark fin trade in the U.S., advocating for species-specific management plans, and reducing deaths from bycatch.This support has helped Oceana win major victories for our oceans. In 2021 alone, they protected over 25,000 square miles of deep-sea corals in New England from destructive fishing, removed deadly drift gillnets from the Pacific Ocean in California, and helped pass a historic law in Chile eliminating single-use plastics.
With roundup donations, shark adoptions, and limited edition product collaborations, we’ll continue supporting Oceana as they work to protect and restore our oceans. As a lifestyle writer and journalist, I love sharing my passion for ocean conservation and obsession with clean beauty. I’ve tried almost every trend and ingredient, and Biossance’s science-backed formulas are the only ones that consistently calm my reactive skin and make it smoother, clearer, and healthier. I’m so excited to be on this journey of skincare innovation with Biossance, and to share it with you!
