Squalane

Squalane is a highly refined botanical lipid that is stable against heat and oxidation, with an imperceptible odor and clear color. It has a molecular structure that is very similar to skin lipids. With a natural affinity to skin, this lightweight lipid absorbs easily without leaving a greasy residue. An effective emollient, squalane has been traditionally used to help protect skin’s barrier and seal in moisture for softer, smoother skin. It has a thick consistency, making it ideal for dry and mature skin types. An added benefit is that it increases product absorption of other ingredients, enhancing the overall health and quality of the skin’s appearance.
