'Shark ingredients like squalene are infiltrating cosmetics. Squalene is touted as a fabulous moisturizer that\'s easily absorbed by our skin. But it\'s often made from the liver of sharks—a vital species that keeps our oceans in a healthy balance. Squalene can be extracted from vegetarian sources but it\'s often difficult to tell which your product contains. Look for words like \"100 percent plant-derived\" or \"cruelty-free\" when shopping to ensure you\'re not contributing to the demand for shark-based squalene. 11,000 sharks per hour are slaughtered for cosmetics, food, supplements and more. Demand for these ingredients is driving some species of sharks to the edge of extinction. Without sharks, ocean ecosystems will collapse. It\'s up to us to protect sharks and our oceans.
