- Clean, minimalistic formulation without synthetics, PEGs, parabens, or preservatives.
- THD Ascorbate offers stable, lipid-soluble vitamin C activity with excellent penetration.
- Squalane provides superior biocompatibility and supports barrier function.
- Oil-based format protects THD from oxidation and extends shelf stability.
CONS
- Contains geraniol and citronellol, known allergens and sensitizers.

FINAL VERDICT
Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil is a simple yet effective oil serum featuring one of the most skin-friendly forms of vitamin C. The lightweight oil system supports barrier resilience and delivers antioxidant benefits with stability rarely seen in vitamin C products. However, the presence of geraniol and citronellol keeps it from being ideal for long-term daily use especially for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or pigment-prone skin where inflammation can undermine results. It remains a strong option for those with resilient, dry, or mature skin looking for a nourishing antioxidant oil.
