Happy Monday, friends! Today I’m sharing a look that’s become one of my favorites: a head-to-toe beige tonal outfit. There’s something about dressing in a single shade that feels both calming and empowering. Beige, in particular, has a softness that reads as crisp, fresh, and endlessly versatile. I think of it as a blank canvas—an invitation to start again, to rewrite, to begin a new chapter.
And speaking of fresh chapters, that’s exactly how I feel about my long-standing relationship with Biossance. I was first introduced to the brand back in November 2015—long before skincare was as much of a conversation as it is now—and I’ve been a loyal fan ever since. Their face oil quickly became the only serum I trusted enough to use daily, morning and night. Fast-forward more than a year later, and it’s still holding its place in my routine. That kind of consistency speaks volumes.
Biossance is particularly special to me because, like me, its story begins in Berkeley. Guided by the motto “Fiat Lux” (“Let there be light”), the brand embodies innovation, sustainability, and meaningful change. Watching them evolve while staying true to those values feels like watching an old friend thrive.
A New Look for a Classic Favorite
Recently, Biossance unveiled a redesign of their iconic bottles. On one side, I had the older version (which now feels like a collector’s item to me), and on the other, the new sleek, forest-green design. Same incredible formula, just dressed in a fresh outfit. I especially appreciate the clarity—the new bottles clearly list what’s inside, which feels both transparent and empowering.
The updated look is more than just aesthetic, though. It symbolizes a brand that continues to grow while staying rooted in science-driven skincare. And let me tell you, the more I learn about their hero ingredient—squalane—the more I want to tell everyone I know.
Why Squalane Deserves the Spotlight
So, what exactly is squalane? It’s a lightweight oil made of natural lipids that our skin actually produces. Its job is to keep the skin supple and prevent water loss. But here’s the catch: as we hit our late 20s, our natural production of squalane drops dramatically, and that decline is believed to be one of the culprits behind visible aging.
The benefits of supplementing with squalane are impressive. It absorbs quickly into the skin, helping to repair dryness, encourage cellular regeneration, and even amplify the effectiveness of other ingredients. Think of it as both a shield and a transporter, locking in hydration while carrying in reinforcements.
One of my holy grail products is the Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil. It’s a powerhouse in a bottle. The Vitamin C helps protect against environmental damage, the Chios crystal oil stimulates collagen production, and the rose extract soothes both skin and senses. Together, these ingredients elevate skin tone, texture, and radiance. I can’t help but light up when I talk about it—it’s truly that good.
Expanding the Routine
While I’ll never let go of my beloved face oil, I’ve been experimenting with more from Biossance’s lineup. On my body and hair, I’ve been using their 100% Squalane Oil—it’s become my post-shower essential. Recently, I also added the Squalane + Peptide Eye Gel into my daily routine. After just a few weeks, I’ve already noticed a visible difference: less puffiness, more hydration, and an overall smoother under-eye area. I’m giving it more time before sharing a full review, but so far, it’s love.
Inner Beauty Meets Outer Beauty
When Biossance gave me a preview of their new product packaging during a Skype call, I could barely contain my excitement. Their new forest-green bottles are elegant, timeless, and chic—like a luxury piece you want to display on your vanity. To me, they perfectly capture the brand’s balance of inner integrity and outer beauty.
Even more exciting, the new designs are now available at Sephora, both in-store and online. It feels like a big milestone, not just for Biossance, but for all of us who have championed clean, sustainable skincare from the beginning.
More Than Skin Deep
Beyond beautiful packaging and innovative formulas, what makes me proudest to support Biossance is their commitment to making a global impact. For every product purchased on Biossance.com, they donate $1 toward efforts to eradicate malaria. It’s proof that beauty can extend far beyond what we see in the mirror—it can contribute to meaningful change in the world.
Final Thoughts
So here’s to blank canvases, new beginnings, and the joy of finding products that truly work. Just as a tonal beige look allows me to feel fresh and ready for whatever the day brings, Biossance continues to be my reset button in skincare—consistent, reliable, and uplifting.
To Biossance: congratulations on your gorgeous redesign and Sephora launch. Thank you for staying true to your roots while continuing to light the way forward.
And to you, dear reader—thank you for being here. Here’s to radiant skin, fresh starts, and celebrating the things (and brands) that make us feel both confident and cared for.
