Squalane is a naturally occurring ingredient with a range of useful benefits for skin, hair and nails. It can be made safely using natural processes and renewable materials without polluting the environment.

Benefits: Why is Squalane Used?

Softer Skin

Squalane leaves the skin softer and more supple.

Deeply Hydrating

Squalane deeply hydrates and is easily absorbed by the skin.

Balances Oily Skin

Squalane controls and reduces excessively oily skin and is non-comedogenic (won’t block pores).

Evens Complexion

Squalane may help reduce the appearance of scars and stretchmarks.

Squalane is used extensively in the cosmetics and skincare industry. It finds a useful place in lipsticks, lip balms, foundations, moisturisers, anti-ageing creams, massage oils, body lotions

Squalane is made in a multi-stage process the first of which is to ferment sugars using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. This produces the squalane precursor: β-Farnesene. The precursor substance is hydrogenated and steam distilled until pure, safe squalane is ready for use.

Squalane is a COSMOS approved (CPAI) ingredient.

Squalane naturally occurs in human sebum.
