Ingredients Details
Squalane
Squalane is a highly effective emollient and moisturizer derived from squalene, a compound naturally present in human sebum. This hydrogenated form offers superior stability and shelf life compared to its precursor. Squalane is colorless, odorless, and possesses a light, non-greasy texture that absorbs rapidly into the skin.
As a biomimetic ingredient, squalane closely resembles the skin's natural oils, allowing for excellent compatibility and integration with the skin barrier. It helps to reduce transepidermal water loss, enhancing skin hydration and elasticity. Squalane also exhibits antioxidant properties, potentially protecting the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors.
This versatile ingredient is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It can help balance oil production in oily skin types while providing essential moisture to dry skin. Squalane's molecular structure allows it to penetrate deeply into the skin, delivering hydration to multiple layers of the epidermis.
In skincare formulations, squalane is often used in serums, moisturizers, and facial oils. It can enhance the spreadability of products and act as a carrier for other active ingredients, potentially improving their efficacy.
