Squalane

Squalane is a moisturizing ingredient derived from plants or sometimes shark liver oil, known for its light, non-greasy texture. It closely resembles the natural oils found in human skin, making it highly effective at locking in moisture and protecting the skin barrier. Squalane hydrates skin without clogging pores, balances oil production, and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin. It also has antioxidant properties that help protect against environmental damage. Because it absorbs quickly and feels smooth, squalane is a popular ingredient in many skincare products aimed at maintaining healthy, hydrated skin.
