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 contributes to 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.

PROTECTING REJUVENATING PURIFYING

  • Hydrating: Provides deep hydration by mimicking the skin’s natural oils, which can maintain moisture balance.
  • Rejuvenating: contributes to skin elasticity and smoothness and diminishes the appearance of maturing skin.
  • Purifying: Non-comedogenic and lightweight, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily skin.
  • Protecting: Supports the skin barrier and protects the skin from environmental factors while locking in moisture.
  • Soothing: Has soothing properties that calm irritated or sensitive skin.

How is it used in our products?

Squalane is used in F75 Lip Balm from OLIVEDA and HT Lip Butter and HT Pearl Primer Serum from OLIVE ROSE, and in Olive Shield Baby Barrier Cream from the Baby & Mom Collection.
