The Benefits of Squalane for Your Skin

Squalane is a highly effective emollient and moisturizer. It mimics your skin's natural oils, making it easily recognized and absorbed. The key squalane benefits include:

  • Non-greasy hydration: It provides long-lasting moisture without a heavy or greasy feel.
  • Restores moisture barrier: Squalane helps to strengthen your skin's natural moisture barrier, protecting it from environmental stressors.
  • Soothes and nourishes: It leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple, while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Our squalane-based formulas are carefully crafted to maximize these benefits while maintaining a lightweight, elegant texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does squalane do for your skin?

Squalane helps to hydrate and nourish your skin by mimicking its natural oils. It acts as a lightweight moisturizer that soothes and protects the skin's moisture barrier, leading to a softer, smoother, and more supple complexion.

Is squalane a moisturizer or an oil?

Squalane is a moisturizing ingredient. It is a stable, saturated hydrocarbon that is typically derived from olives. Although it has an oil-like texture, it is not an oil in the traditional sense and won't feel heavy or greasy on the skin.

What is the difference between squalene and squalane?

Squalene (with an "e") is a naturally occurring lipid found in our skin. It is unstable and oxidizes when exposed to air. Squalane (with an "a") is a hydrogenated form of squalene. It is a much more stable, usable, and shelf-friendly ingredient for skincare products.

Can you use squalane and retinol together?

Yes, squalane and retinol can be used together. Squalane is often recommended for use with retinol because its hydrating and soothing properties can help counteract the potential dryness and irritation that sometimes comes with retinol use.

Is squalane good for oily skin?

Yes, squalane is excellent for oily skin. Its lightweight and non-comedogenic properties mean it provides essential hydration without clogging pores or contributing to excess oil. In some cases, it can even help regulate sebum production.

Can I use squalane with other active ingredients (like Vitamin C or AHA/BHA)?

Yes, squalane can be used safely with almost all active ingredients, including Vitamin C and AHA/BHA exfoliants. Squalane is highly stable and serves as a soothing agent. It helps counter potential irritation or dryness caused by powerful actives by strengthening the moisture barrier, making it an ideal final step to lock in treatment benefits and enhance tolerance.
