Squalane Squalane
Squalane is a saturated hydrocarbon obtained through the hydrogenation of squalene (a component naturally present in skin sebum) — its stable, non-oxidising form. Structurally identical to epidermal lipids, it is therefore exceptionally well accepted by the skin, absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy film. It effectively rebuilds the hydrolipid barrier, prevents water loss (TEWL), smooths the skin and gives it a silky softness. It has antioxidant action, protecting against free radicals and photoaging, and shows anti-inflammatory properties. Ideal for all skin types, including acne-prone, dry, mature and sensitive skin — non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.
LIPID REPLENISHMENT26% reduction in TEWL over 14 days (Kim et al., 2014). Non-comedogenic in the rabbit ear test (comedogenicity 0).
Structurally identical to the squalene of human sebum (12% of epidermal lipids). It integrates into the intercellular cement without altering the barrier structure. A lipid antioxidant, it protects against peroxidation.
