PhilosophySugarcane-derived squalane as the house ingredient — clean, biotech-led skincare that avoids the extraction problems (shark liver, olive) of traditional squalane.Pharmaceutical-grade EGF, made gentle.

Biossance

The squalane oil is a genuinely great single-ingredient face oil and the best argument for the brand. Serums are competent but not category-defining. The 'clean beauty' positioning is better-earned here than at most brands because the biotech story is real. Mid-premium pricing.

Pros

✓ Sugarcane-derived squalane is a real biotech innovation
✓ Solid barrier-focused lineup
✓ Strong sustainability credentials
✓ Squalane oil is the cult hero

Cons

✗ Flagship active (squalane) is widely available
✗ Serums less differentiated than the oil
✗ Premium-tier for clean-beauty positioning

EasyDew

EasyDew is built on real medical chemistry — the brand was founded by Daewoong Pharmaceutical and uses pharmaceutical-grade EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), an ingredient most OTC skincare can't legally formulate with at this concentration. Olive Young named them their #1 'slow aging' brand in 2025, and Marie Claire flagged them as one of the K-beauty brands to watch.
