Oh hot dayum, clean skincare is my JAM! I’ve had that song in my head all day so, here we are. ANYWAYZ. Whenever one of my favorite clean brands has a sale, I try to do a round up of my favorite products and what’s in my cart in case you want to take advantage, too! You can find all of my top products from Follain (here and here), Credo Beauty and Clean at Sephora on the blog. So, when I opened my inbox this morning and saw that Biossance is doing 25% off with the code TREAT25 through tomorrow, I practically squealed! ALSO they are offering FREE TWO DAY SHIPPING on orders 50+ so you can still get your order in time for the holidays. Boom.
The key ingredient Biossance’s products is squalane. Hopefully that sounds famiiar because I talk about my favorite squalane oil all the time. And I will continue to because y’all…it’s that good. Here’s the scoop on squalane – our body naturally produces it’s own version (called squalene) but it decreases both in production and retention as we age (starting in our 20s!). So, Biossance found a way to get it back! Their sustainably sourced squalane replenishes lost moisture, calms irritation, helps retain hydration, is hydrating without being greasy, does not clog pores and works well with all skin types. Plus, it’s made from 100% plant-derived renewable sugarcane.
Squalane is an oil, but it’s weightless and high performing. It’s not going to feel heavy on your skin or create congestion. If you’re nervous about using oils – I hear you. I was, too! But after tons of research about my dry, superficial and follicular acne, I decided to incorporate squalane. I’ve never looked back! Squalane is also great for folliculitis, fungal acne and can even help with other inflammatory conditions like eczema (squalane has anti-inflammatory properties!). It’s also a super versatile oil that can be used on the face, body and even hair!
Now, let’s chat products. As always, I’ll share my tried and true favorites and the products in my cart. Questions? Need recs? Shoot me a note at purelynoramassey@gmail.com (my BC email) and I’ll help ya out!
IN MY CABINET
100% Squalane Oil – The OG product that saved my skin! I use pure squalane oil every night as my final treat step (oils always go last!). I apply 1/2 to 1 pump and cover my entire face and neck – the oilier the better IMO. I always make sure to lightly massage it in, too. Bonus? Squalane is clinically-proven to help promote microbiome diversity for healthier-looking skin.
Squalane + Antioxidant Cleansing Oil – I talked about this in my latest IGTV and mentioned it in this post on double cleansing. This oil is so gentle but extremely effective. It penetrates deep into the pores to remove dirt, excess oil and grime and is a great makeup remover. When you add water it turns into a nice lather and rinses right off, leaving skin soft and hydrated!
Squalane + Glycolic Renewal Mask – Comeeee to mama! This treatment is a tripe threat – peel, exfoliator and mask – all in one tube! It’s basically a facial in a bottle and does it’s magic in just 10 minutes! How does it work? Glycolic acid, multi-alpha-hydroxy acids and mineral spheres combine to gently polish away dull, rough patches and minimize fine lines, discoloration and enlarged pores to reveal a glowing, super smooth and radiant complexion. And yes, it’s as good as it sounds.
Squalane + Tea Tree Balancing Oil – I use this as a protect step on nights when I feel a little extra congested and I don’t use the Overnight Resurfacing Peel. Tea Tree Oil helps reduce the appearance of blemishes, enlarged pores and other imperfections. The added squalane boosts the performance of the tea tree and restores hydration to skin depleted by harsh products. This is such a safer, gentler way to treat acne prone and congested skin!
Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer – This is more of a summertime product for me but I tend to grab things while they are on sale regardless. If you’re looking for a weightless daytime moisturizer, this gel formula is the best. It has added probiotics to help with inflammation, reddness and even rosacea. It also reduces the impact of daytime stressors – a total must!

Squalane + Omega Repair Cream – Okay this night cream has been on my list for ages and I’m really excited to try it – I have a client that uses it and raves about it! I’m wary of most night creams because I’m always paranoid something heavy will break me out but since I know I do well with squalane, I’m more inclined to try this! It has a whipped texture with lipids and ceramides to hydrate, plump and smooth skin. The formula also boosts radiance for dewy looking skin…but without the shine! Yes. please.
Squalane + Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen – This is a lightweight mineral sunscreen that is 100% non-nano, non-toxic and has zinc SPF 30. Great for even the most sensitive skin, I’m hoping this will be a nice option for my face year round!
Wonderous Hydration Set – This Biossance Eye Cream is on my list so I love that this set has a full size version with a full size squalane and a trial size night cream! Sets are such as great way to explore products and since this one was customized by JVN himself, I’m sure it will make me look GORG.
