Neossance Hemisqualane
We regret the necessary price increase on Neossance™ Hemisqualane, however the manufacture has increased the price by 260% and we have no choice but to pass on most of this increase.
Neossance™ Hemisqualane is made by Amyris, a US company whose breakthrough technology has enabled them to produce this GMO-free, sugar-based, ecologically green product that can provide a sustainable alternative to silicones in cosmetic formulations. Neossance™ Hemisqualane is an innovative light emollient with a high spreadability and a great sensorial profile. It has a silky and light feel, creating elegant textures that will leave the skin smooth, and its short playtime is ideal for face and eye creams, leaving a soft, velvet-like after feel. It makes a natural alternative for petroleum-based paraffin and silicone ingredients. Neossance™ Hemisqualane is both ECOCert-approved and a USDA Certified 100% Biobased Product that is inherently biodegradable. It's sometimes referred to as Squalane Light.
