Squalane

Squalane is a derivative of squalene, a substance naturally found in human sebum. Used in skincare, squalane is a stabilised and hydrogenated version, known for its high skin tolerance and nourishing properties. Unlike squalene, which oxidises easily, squalane is stable, non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.
