Target: Susan M. Lark, M.D.
Sponsored by: Oceana
Dr. Susan Lark, a popular Internet physician, promotes squalane - an ingredient found in shark liver oil - for its ability to help skin "maintain its moisture and elasticity." But squalane can be obtained from a much more abundant source: olives.
Deep-sea sharks are some of the most vulnerable sharks in the world. They typically grow slowly, mature late in life and have only a few young during their long lives. As a result, deep-sea shark populations are at extreme risk from exploitation and recover very slowly.
Tell Dr. Lark she ought to leave deep-sea sharks alone. The health - and beauty - of our oceans depends on it.
