Biossance partners with Sephora to enter Indian market

Skincare brand Biossance has launched in the Indian market in partnership with multi-brand beauty retailer Sephora. A selection of 14 Biossance products are now available on Sephora’s India e-commerce store and in its brick-and-mortar stores in the country. 

“Biossance is now available only at Sephora in India,” Sephora announced on Facebook on August 1. “Receive a free travel-size Vitamin C Rose Oil (Rs 1,600 value) with every Biossance purchase. Available across all Sephora stores and online.” 
 
Biossance products now available in India include eye creams, face oils, toners, lip balms, face masks, and face serums among others. The brand has simple, ingredient focused packaging and all of its products are vegan. 

The California based brand has received funding from billionaire Bill Gates and the brand uses biotechnology to formulate its skincare products. Biossance’s hero ingredient is Squalane oil, which features in most of its products and moisturises effectively while maintaining a healthy skin barrier, according to Biossance’s Facebook page. 

Biossance’s parent company is Amyris, which was founded in 2003. The business runs a number of personal care brands including skincare brand Terasana, haircare brand JVN, beauty brand Rose Inc, and women’s health brand Menolabs among others.
