Neossance Hemisqualane is a natural alternative to petroleum-based paraffins and silicone ingredients. This new offering is an innovative solution to address an even larger market than the company’s first emollient, Neossance Squalane, which continues to win market share as one of the world’s leading high-end emollients. Neossance emollients offer many high-performance properties that make them ideal ingredients across beauty categories including skin, hair, sun care, makeup and cleansing.
