EMERYVILLE, Calif., Dec. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Biossance, a pioneering clean skincare brand from Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS), a leader in the development and production of sustainable ingredients for the Health & Wellness, Clean Beauty and Flavors & Fragrances markets, today announced that its sales on Biossance.com for Cyber Monday, on December 2, were up over 3X from last year and resulted in the highest one-day sales in the brand's history. Product sales through Biossance.com have been comprising a greater portion of sales channel mix and these sales deliver much higher margins.

Sephora North American sales, Biossance Brazil sales and those within new global markets also delivered solid performance during the quarter thus far and are incremental to the Biossance.com sales. Overall, Biossance is experiencing significant consumer adoption across all the brand's geographies with particularly strong recent international performance in Brazil and Australia.

"We are pleased with our sales results as brand momentum for Biossance continues through the holiday season," said Catherine Gore, President of Biossance. "Consumers continue to seek out effective clean beauty skin care products from responsible companies and Biossance is at the forefront of that trend in offering the only EWG verified products at Sephora that provide the best performance and are safer for them and their families. We are very pleased with the consumer love this year and the continued growth Biossance is realizing. We are tracking well to finish the quarter at a $50 million annualized sales rate."

Biossance is setting the standard for clean beauty and leveraging the consumer trend toward clean, sustainable ingredients that also deliver the best skin care performance they can expect.
