Olive-Derived Squalane
INCI: squalane
Olive-derived squalane is produced by hydrogenating squalene extracted from olive oil leftovers — a plant-based, bioidentical version of the skin’s own lipid. It delivers the classic squalane benefits: lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration, barrier smoothing, and excellent active-ingredient carrier performance, with a fully vegan and upcycled sourcing story. Quality olive squalane is indistinguishable from sugarcane squalane in function and feel. At 2–100% it suits all skin types and slots into any routine step from cleanser to final oil. A backbone ingredient for minimalist routines — one bottle, endless compatibility, near-zero irritation risk.
