Squalane
Origin: Spain | Process: Refined Olive Unsaponifiables | Certifications: 100% Plant-Derived
INCI: Squalane
Olive groves stretch across Tunisia, where olive oil has been central to daily life for millennia. Squalane is one of the most exquisite, highly refined fractions derived from these native olives.
Naturally skin-mimicking, squalane closely mirrors the squalene already present in human sebum. It functions as a lightweight, skin-identical emollient that softens, smooths, and leaves a weightless, silky finish without any heaviness or greasy residue.
Key Benefits & Science:
-
Bio-Compatible Moisture: Mirrors the skin's natural lipids to seamlessly integrate into the stratum corneum, restoring suppleness and preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
-
Non-Comedogenic Hydration: Possesses a non-clogging structure that delivers deep elasticity and moisture without congesting pores or leaving an oily film.
-
Enhances Barrier Resilience: Acts as a stabilizing emollient that softens rough texture, calms environmental reactivity, and leaves skin noticeably smooth to the touch.
Ideal For: All skin types, especially dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin looking for weightless moisture.
