Ingredients Details
Squalene
Common Name(s): Squalane,endogenous skin lipid,lightweight non-comedogenic emollient
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides lightweight, fast-absorbing emolliency without comedogenicity โ integrating into sc lipid bilayers, reducing tewl, and restoring sebum squalene depleted by aging and uv exposure.
Why It's Used: Uniquely produced by human sebaceous glands โ squalane/squalene is the only conventional emollient with truly endogenous human origin, explaining zero comedogenicity and zero sensitisation potential.
How It Works: The branched, isoprenoid (2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyltetracosane) structure of squalane provides excellent sc integration through chain-length compatibility with sc lipids while the methyl branching prevents the tight packing that causes comedogenicity in straight-chain fatty acids.
