Neossance™ Squalane

Squalane is the stable form of squalene, a natural component of skin sebum. It is one of the highest quality and most versatile emollients on the market due to its sensorial profile, biocompatibility and consistently robust composition. It is no-polar, fully saturated, and very stable hydrocarbon that is easily absorbed in the skin. It is an exceptional moisturiser, preventing moisture loss and imparting suppleness and flexibility to skin. Due to its exceptional properties, squalane has been a long time favorite of cosmetic formulators. Squalane provides silky, smooth and luxurious touch, without a greasy, heavy after feel. With the lastest white (fermentation) biotechnology platform, Givaudan has developed Neossance™ Squalane, a unique process that enables the production of plant sugar derived, highly pure squalane. Neossance™ Squalane resists oxidation and is stable to UV and temperature variations. It has a consistenly robust composition. As one of the leaders in “Active Beauty”, trying to shape the future with cleaner and better solutions, it was a natural challenge to develop a new and revolutionary squalane, obtained through white biotech with the highest quality in the market from susbtainable Brazilian sugarcane. Givaudan’s Neossance™ Squalane is made via (white technology) fermentation of Bonsurco-certified renewable sugarcane. Our sugarcanes grow in coastal Brazil without irrigation and far from the forest. Bonsucro is a global non-profit organization funded by the World Wildlife Foundation that promotes sustainable sugarcane production, processing, and trade.
