Squalane (Olive-Derived)

Olive-derived squalane reproduces the skin’s native squalene in stable hydrogenated form, sourced from olive oil processing. Its sebum-like structure integrates seamlessly into the barrier lipid matrix, restoring softness and reducing water loss without occlusion or break-out risk. Non-comedogenic and remarkably inert, it is the emollient of choice for sensitive, post-procedure, and oily skin alike. Use pure as a final moisturising drop or within creams at 2–15%. The sustainability angle — upcycled olive by-products replacing historical shark sourcing — completes a rare case where the ethical choice and the performance choice are the same ingredient.
