As the 12 Days of CHRISelle draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on a journey that has not only celebrated beauty and style but also sparked a deeper commitment to clean, conscious living. Today’s feature, in collaboration with Biossance, resonates on a personal level—a moment of clarity that comes from caring for my own well-being as well as that of my growing family.
A Personal Evolution in Skincare
There’s something uniquely transformative about embracing motherhood. With my second child now part of our little family, I’ve become more attuned to every detail, especially when it comes to the products I use on my skin. Whether it’s during those precious, skin-to-skin moments or the quiet hours of the night, the connection I share with my baby has heightened my awareness of what I put on my body. The stakes are higher now: every lotion, oil, and serum I apply not only affects me but can also touch my baby’s delicate skin. This is where clean beauty steps in as more than just a trend—it becomes a daily act of nurturing.
The Biossance Promise: Pure, Plant-Powered Care
I’ve been a devoted fan of Biossance for years, captivated by their commitment to creating products that marry science with nature. Their 100% Squalane Oil was my introduction to a world where hydration meets purity. With a line that now includes everything from the Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer to the radiant Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil, Biossance has consistently proven that it’s possible to achieve effective skincare without compromise.
For someone like me—someone whose skin is naturally on the drier side—finding a product that strikes the perfect balance is crucial. Many skincare products can leave a heavy, oily residue that might trigger breakouts. But with Biossance’s formulations, I enjoy a deep, lasting hydration that never feels greasy. The secret lies in squalane—a naturally derived, super-hydrating ingredient that locks in moisture while keeping the skin light and refreshed.
Elevating Everyday Beauty
The beauty of these clean products goes beyond hydration. For instance, the Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil has become a staple in my routine. A few precious drops mixed into my BB cream or foundation add an undeniable radiance that carries me confidently through the day. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the simplest enhancements can make all the difference in how we feel and present ourselves.
Even more impressive is the Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum, a revolutionary product designed with breastfeeding mamas in mind. Traditional retinol can be harsh, but Biossance’s plant-based alternative, enriched with Bakuchiol (an extract from Babchi), offers similar benefits without the risks. It’s an innovation that reassures me, knowing that I’m treating my skin with the care it deserves—while keeping it safe for my little one.
A Commitment to Giving Back
What truly elevates this clean beauty journey is the spirit of giving that underpins it. In our partnership with Biossance, a portion of our efforts has gone toward supporting Baby2Baby—a charity that helps families in need during the holiday season. Over the years, the 12 Days of CHRISelle has become more than a celebration of fashion and beauty; it’s a movement that embodies gratitude, community, and the transformative power of caring.
This final day of our 12-day celebration is particularly meaningful. It marks not just the end of an exciting chapter of daily surprises and giveaways, but also a reaffirmation of our shared commitment to ethical beauty practices. The donations made through this initiative serve as a reminder that our choices—whether in skincare or lifestyle—can contribute to a larger, more compassionate world.
Why Clean Beauty Matters
Clean beauty isn’t just a label—it’s a philosophy that integrates health, sustainability, and ethical practices into our daily routines. For mothers, especially, it becomes a conscious decision to protect our bodies and our children from harsh chemicals and potentially harmful ingredients. The shift toward clean, plant-based skincare is a testament to the growing awareness that beauty and wellness should coexist in harmony with our environment.
For me, this journey has been both personal and transformative. With every product I choose, I’m reminded that taking care of myself isn’t an indulgence; it’s an essential part of being the best version of me for my family. And with Biossance’s clean, thoughtfully crafted formulations, I’m empowered to face each day with confidence, grace, and a radiant glow.

Here’s to a future where beauty is defined not just by what we see in the mirror, but by the values we carry within.
