Our squalane is olive-derived, produced through a sustainable hydrogenation process that converts the squalene naturally present in olive oil into the stable squalane used in skincare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe want to be clear about our source: our squalane comes from olives, not from sharks. Shark-liver-derived squalane still exists in the market, which is why we consider it important to be transparent about where ours comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause squalane so closely mimics the skin's own natural sebum, it is absorbed exceptionally well without a greasy or heavy residue. It is non-comedogenic, odorless, and stable- meaning it does not oxidize or go rancid easily, which makes it an excellent base and carrier in facial oil formulas. It provides immediate skin smoothness and supports long-term moisture retention by reinforcing the skin's lipid barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin feel: Ultra-lightweight, silky, non-greasy, non-comedogenic\u003cbr\u003eBest for: All skin types, including oily and acne-prone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSqualane Oil will be featured in upcoming skincare products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor external use only.
