To celebrate Ocean Day 2022, Biossance—the conscious beauty brand known for its ground-breaking plant-derived squalane—is partnering with Oceana, the largest international advocacy non-profit organization focused solely on ocean conservation. The partnership has resulted in some limited-edition products. The Jumbo-Size 100% Squalane Oil harnesses sugarcane to hydrate the face, body, and hair. The Oceana Seas The Day Set combines Biossance's Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum, which hydrates and firms, and its Marine Algae Eye Cream, which lifts and moisturizes. All limited-edition offerings are available in beautiful, shark-themed packaging and Biossance is donating 5% of every purchase to support Oceana's important work. Tod date, the clean beauty brand has donated "over $300k to help keep oceans safe, healthy, and abundant."
Biossance may celebrate Ocean Day 2022 but as a whole, the brand has made a year-round commitment to ocean and species conservation. Thanks to providing clean beauty offerings to the world, Biossance is able to save approximately two million sharks per year because of its innovative vegan squalane.
