Squalane is a lightweight, versatile moisturizer known for its ability to deeply hydrate and protect the skin without feeling heavy or greasy. Derived from plant-based and synthetic sources, squalane mimics the skin’s natural lipids, making it an excellent choice for supporting a healthy, balanced moisture barrier. Its gentle, non-comedogenic nature makes it suitable for all skin types—including sensitive skin and acne-prone skin.

What Is Squalane?

Squalane is a stabilized, hydrogenated form of squalene, a natural lipid found in the skin’s sebum. While our bodies produce squalene naturally, its levels decline with age, contributing to drier and less resilient skin. (Squalane molecules are more stable and effective for use in skincare than squalene.) Modern formulations use ethical, plant-based sources of squalane like sugarcane, olives, and rice bran.
