Olive Squalane
Ingredient Fact Sheet
A non-comedogenic light oil that helps restore the skin's barrier. Biomimetic and deeply hydrating, comparable to hyaluronic acid with added antioxidant and protective properties.
Derived purely from Mediterranean olives, Olive Squalane is a highly stable, biomimetic hydrocarbon that flawlessly replicates the squalene naturally produced by human skin. Because it is bio-identical, it absorbs instantly without clogging pores (non-comedogenic), delivering massive surges of hydration to the deepest layers of the dermis. It acts as an incredible delivery system for other active ingredients while providing robust antioxidant protection against premature ageing.
Historical Context
Traditionally, squalene was harvested from less sustainable sources. Modern plant-derived Olive Squalane provides the exact same benefits, often layered under active treatments like Bakuchiol.
Scientific Breakdown
Prevents trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) while acting as a penetration enhancer. It is the perfect pairing for Jojoba Oil in mimicking youthful skin sebum.
