#OilWars: Squalane Vs Argan Oil And Jojoba Oil
Argan, jojoba, coconut, tea tree, almond or avocado. In the quest for silky hair/glowing skin/moisturized cuticles/a multi-tasking miracle, there are almost too many oils to choose from; each one touting a plethora of beautifying benefits. But all oils are not created equal.
Thatâs where our mega-moisturizing molecule, squalane, comes in. The human body produces its own version of squalane. But the amount you make and retain decreases over timeâreaching peak levels in your teens and then freefalling into a downhill descent, leaving skin increasingly rough, dry and vulnerable. But fear not. To supplement this natural loss of moisture, squalane has been used as a luxury skincare ingredient. But it was historically harvested from shark liversâwhich has a devastating environmental impactâor unreliable sources, like olives.
So at Biossance, we created a 100% plant-based squalane sustainably from sugarcane. Our Brazilian grown sugarcane is an especially sustainable option, as the regionâs abundance of rainfall means no additional watering is necessary for crops to flourish. Our weightless ingredient isnât only sustainablyâit truly works by instantly hydrating from head-to-toe while locking in essential moisture, giving your body back whatâs rightly yours.
Squalane may not be as widely known (yet) but it should be, and will be. The #MoistureRevolution is spreading and when it comes to the #OilWars, weâre excited to share our scientistsâ findings.
#OilWars: Squalane Oil vs. Argan, Jojoba Oil and Others
Squalane is 53% better at accelerating cell turnover than argan oil, 39% better at accelerating cell turnover than joboba oil, andâunlike coconut oilâis non-comedogenic and has absolutely zero greasiness. Almost sounds too good to be true, right? Itâs not. Squalane truly is the moisturizer of the future, because after all, your body knows best. Order our free sample duo of our 100% Squalane Oil and Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil (plus $4 shipping and handling) to see for yourself why squalane is winning not just the battle, but the entire war.
