Squalene

Squalene is a lipid compound that the skin produces on its own - it's one of the components of sebum. It's also found in plants, including olive oil and amaranth seeds. Unlike squalane, its hydrogenated form, it's less stable, but very close to what naturally occurs on the skin.

It makes the skin supple and soft, supports its protective barrier and helps reduce water loss. It spreads easily and blends well with oils, improving their absorption.

You'll find it in our face creams and hand creams.
