This single-use, peel off modeling mask is the latest in a full line-up of products from Biossance that embodies the brand’s philosophy of providing consumers with safe and sustainable skin care products with well-vetted, high performance ingredients:

• 100% plant-derived squalane: Instantly hydrates, leaves skin soft and smooth
• Alginate (marine algae): Removes toxins from the skin’s surface, restores hydration
• Zinc Gluconate: Exfoliates and detoxifies, deep cleans and tightens pores, reduces oiliness, calms skin, and reduces redness
• Allantoin: Quenches dry, chapped skin, relieves irritation, gives skin a soft, smooth and healthy appearance.
  

“I really love the performance of Biossance products on my clients, who trust me to carefully choose cosmetic products that are safe and offer substantial skin benefits. The Detoxifier is a great biodegradable alternative to sheet masks that delivers results,” said Katey Denno, an A-list celebrity makeup artist known for her extensive knowledge of green beauty. “With the full line of products from the Biossance brand, I always know that whatever I reach for to meet my clients’ specific needs will perform and be made from a nontoxic, sustainable source.”

“Our Biossance product portfolio continues to deliver the brand’s No Compromise® commitment of delivering products that are safe, sustainable and best in class performance. Consumers are rewarding us with record sales performance for our brand almost every week this quarter,” said Caroline Hadfield, Amyris’s Senior Vice President, Personal Care.

Each Biossance product is free of harmful ingredients that are commonly used in other brands by using only the good, none of the bad (for more information about Biossance’s high standards please visit the Biossance Blacklist page).

About Biossance

Biossance™ pioneered sustainable 100% plant-based squalane to replenish your skin and restore your biological beauty. The squalane-based brand was created in response to the prevalent use of squalane derived from sharks as an emollient in cosmetic products, creating devastating environmental impact. We’ve designed our line of squalane-based products to empower and inform you, so you can trust that what you are putting on your skin is safe. We won’t compromise, so we hand-select the most effective ingredients and avoid those that are potentially harmful to you or the planet.
