Reasons to love Squalane
Squalane occurs naturally in our skin. It’s non-comedogenic and non-irritating and has anti-bacterial, UV protecting and antioxidant properties.
Squalane is a fave skincare ingredient due to it’s sink-in silkiness and skin softening emolliency.
It’s also a wonderful occlusive – it helps to seal moisture and hydration into our skin. But unlike other classic occlusive ingredients, like petroleum and lanolin, without a heavy, greasy leave behind.
