Information
Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that mimics the skin's natural sebum, providing excellent moisturizing and skin-softening benefits. It is a stable, hydrogenated version of squalene, a lipid naturally found in human skin. Squalane is highly valued in skincare for its ability to hydrate, protect, and improve skin texture without feeling greasy.
Where does it come from?
Squalane is derived from squalene, which was originally sourced from shark liver oil or plant sources such as olives, sugarcane, and rice bran. In modern skincare, squalane is plant-based and obtained through a sustainable hydrogenation process that converts squalene into squalane, a more stable and skin-friendly form.
