available:
- 100% Squalane Oil
- Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil
- Squalane + Peptide Eye Gel
- Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer

“We are excited to welcome Biossance to Sephora stores and
Sephora.ca in February. Our Canadian Clients are increasingly
interested in natural and sustainable products that deliver strong
results, and Biossance is definitely an innovator in that world,”
said Jane Nugent, Vice President of Merchandising at Sephora.
“Biossance has now become one of the fastest growing skin care
brands while garnering rave reviews from our customers,” said
Caroline Hadfield, Senior Vice President, Personal Care, at Amyris.
“With an expanding and uniquely positioned product line, we believe
the brand’s success will continue as we enter new markets.”
