The most desirable squalene comes from deep-sea sharks, which are also among the most vulnerable of species. The global cosmetics industry is still largely supplied with shark-driven squalene. But this oil can also be extracted from plants such as olives, wheat, and rice. \'Cruelty-free\' labels on cosmetic products can be misleading, so it\'s up to consumers to make a difference. #Earth #Environment #Science #NowThis Connect with NowThis » Subscribe to NowThis News: http://go.nowth.is/News_Subscribe » Like us on Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/News_Facebook » Tweet us on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/News_Twitter » Follow us on Instagram: http://go.nowth.is/News_Instagram » Find us on Snapchat Discover: http://go.nowth.is/News_Snapchat NowThis Earth is daily news coverage of climate, sustainability, biodiversity, species extinction, and environmental justice, and other planetary concerns.
