Neossance Hemisqualane
INCI: C13-15 Alkane
What It Is
Neossance Hemisqualane is a lightweight, non-greasy emollient derived from sustainable sugarcane. It mimics the skin’s natural lipids and enhances the texture, absorption, and sensory feel of skincare products without clogging pores.
Why We Use It
We use hemisqualane to improve skin softness and product spreadability. It gives our formulations a silky, smooth glide while supporting the skin barrier and reducing moisture loss—making it especially beneficial in emulsions and serums.
Origin & How It’s Made
Hemisqualane is sourced from renewable sugarcane. It is produced through a fermentation process using sugar-derived feedstock, followed by gentle purification to create a stable, eco-friendly alternative to petroleum- or silicone-based emollients.
