Squalane is a stable, hydrogenated form of squalene— a lipid naturally produced by human sebaceous glands to maintain skin moisture. Unlike its unstable counterpart squalene (which oxidizes quickly), squalane boasts exceptional longevity and compatibility with all skin types.Historically sourced from shark liver oil (endangering millions of apex predators yearly), modern squalane is ethically derived from sustainable plant sources like sugarcane, olives, and rice bran through eco-friendly fermentation processes. This bioengineered version is molecularly identical to the squalene your body produces, ensuring seamless absorption and utilization.As we age, our skin’s natural squalane production declines— dropping from 12% of surface lipids at birth to a fraction by our late 20s. This depletion leads to dryness, reduced elasticity, and weakened barrier function. Plant-derived squalane replenishes this loss, making it a timeless solution for aging and dehydrated skin.
Key Functions of Squalane
Intensive Hydration
Instantly boosts moisture levels and locks in hydration for 24-hour suppleness.
Barrier Repair
Strengthens the skin’s lipid barrier to prevent moisture loss and defend against irritants.
Cell Renewal Support
Accelerates skin regeneration for smoother, more even-toned texture.
Soothe & Protect
Calms sensitivity and shields against environmental stressors (pollution, UV damage).
Versatile Nourishment
Improves appearance of scars, stretch marks, and pigmentation over time.
How Squalane Works
Squalane’s magic lies in its “lipid-matching” molecular structure— perfectly complementing your skin’s natural sebum. When applied, it:
Penetrates instantly without clogging pores (non-comedogenic)
Forms an invisible protective film to lock in moisture while allowing skin to breathe
Replenishes lipid gaps in the stratum corneum, restoring flexibility and resilience
Supports microbiome diversity by maintaining optimal skin pH balance
Unlike heavy oils, its lightweight texture ensures zero greasiness— making it ideal for layering under makeup or other skincare products.
