Summary
This episode is in partnership with Biossance skincare.
There are a lot of squalane-based products out there, but very few are making headlines for *constantly* selling out at Sephora. If you’ve been listening to Breaking Beauty for awhile, you know we love a best-seller, so we needed to know why everyone loves this sleeper hit of a brand, including Queer Eye's Johnathan Van Ness who has been spotted with it in his bag of grooming tricks.
Squalane is skincare's buzziest ingredient right now thanks to its weightless moisturizing benefits. Not unlike hyaluronic acid, we're actually born with a version of it. When applied topically, skin looks plump, dewy and more youthful.
We've even polled our listeners in the Breaking Beauty Podcast Chat Room who sent us some voice memos with squalane q's of their own so tune in!
Hosts: Carlene Higgins and Jill Dunn

| 0:39.6 | away under the Tuscan sun oh don't I know it. For a couple of weeks. No jealousy over here. No. I know when I even tried to like be good with my SPF and it's just when you're walking around all day you tend to get a little bit glowier than usual I'm really |

| 1:10.9 | Today's episode is in partnership with Biosons. They are a sustainable skin care line that is all about |

| 1:47.0 | Yeah, that's what we discovered when we started to really dig in, is that they were being |
| 1:52.2 | written up in a lure and refinery 29 and |
| 1:55.1 | bustle about the fact that they were just constantly selling out over and over again |
| 2:01.1 | at Sephi for us so it's kind of like the sleeper hit you've never heard of and we really were |
