Squalane (olive)

Derived from olives, squalane is an oil that is also found in our skin.

It’s a lipid (fat) made naturally by our oil glands to hydrate and maintain the barrier of our skin. It makes up approximately 12% of human sebum. Its double bonds can grab oxygen and peroxide free radicals, making it a powerful antioxidant. It’s actually considered the MVP in our skin’s fight against oxidative damage, alongside Vitamin E. It has incredible emollient properties. It offers a light and silky feel on the skin, and reduces trans-epidermal water loss. It has great physical and chemical stability and excellent compatibility with other ingredients. It’s non-irritating and very biocompatible with our skin.

We love squalane for its ability to soften skin and as a nonirritating conditioning oil in our face creams. Our squalane is made for us in a green laboratory that follows the highest quality control standards.
