Where does Your Moisturizer Come From – Sharks or Olives?
Squalene is a naturally occurring chemical. It’s widely used in moisturizers and vaccines. Although traditionally harvested from shark livers it can also be made from more environmental plant sources like olives.
Are you sure? Is the label correct?
We’ve run samples from many suppliers and even though the labels say ‘from olive oil’, some samples are actually from sharks.
