Amyris - Clean Beauty, Plant-Based Silicone Alternative

Hemisqualane is a natural alternative to paraffins and silicones. Among other properties, it helps hair maintain moisture and facilitates repair, represented here in a pattern of expanding cylinders. Neossance™ Hemisqualane is the preferred sustainable and naturally-derived alternative to silicone by top global brands. As a sustainable ingredient in virtually unlimited supply, it provides an equivalent sensory and functional performance to unhealthy, banned silicones like isohexadecane and cyclomethicone in skincare, haircare, suncare, makeup removal, and color cosmetics.
