This Cult-Favourite Face Oil Is Going Big For World Ocean Month

Hydrated skin, but make it ocean-conscious. This June, Biossance is celebrating World Ocean Month with the launch of a limited-edition jumbo version of its cult-favourite 100% Squalane Oil—wrapped in exclusive Oceana-inspired packaging and tied to a meaningful cause.

Created in partnership with Oceana, the oversized release continues Biossance’s long-running commitment to marine conservation. Since 2019, the collaboration has contributed more than $1 million toward protecting and restoring ocean ecosystems, including coral reefs, with 5% of proceeds from the new launch supporting Oceana’s ongoing initiatives.

At the centre of it all is Biossance’s hero ingredient: sugarcane-derived squalane, a lightweight, plant-based hydrator designed to mimic the skin’s own natural moisture. Unlike traditional squalane, which has historically been sourced from shark livers, Biossance’s formula is sustainably derived from Brazilian sugarcane—delivering hydration without the environmental guilt.

The appeal is in its simplicity. Fast-absorbing and non-greasy, the multitasking oil works for face, body, and hair, layering seamlessly into any skincare routine while helping boost the absorption of other active ingredients. Clinical testing found that 95% of users felt instantly hydrated, while 93% reported skin felt more nourished after two weeks of use. In other words: the glow is real.

The regular-sized 100% Squalane Oil is currently available at Sephora Canada for $46 CAD, while the limited-edition jumbo version launches May 31 exclusively at Biossance.com for $58 USD.
