SQUALENE

Ingredient type:  FAT-SOLUBLE/EMOLLIENT

Squalene

✨ Role: Squalene is a natural emollient that helps soften and smooth the skin. It mimics human sebum, making it an excellent moisturizer for keeping skin supple and hydrated without clogging pores.
Ingredient type: Fat-soluble
Safety: This ingredient is safe for cosmetic use and well tolerated by most skin types.
✨ Vegan: Yes, when derived from plant sources such as olive oil. It is important to check the source, as it can also be of animal origin (shark liver).
✨ Good to know: Squalene is often preferred for sensitive or acne-prone skin because it is non-comedogenic and has properties similar to natural sebum.
Found in: Moisturizers, facial oils, serums, lip balms, and sometimes hair products to nourish the scalp and hair.

Comedogenic rating: 2
