What is Squalane
Squalane is a lightweight, non-greasy oil that helps hydrate and protect the skin. It is a stabilized form of squalene, a natural lipid produced by the skin that keeps it soft and moisturized. Because it mimics the skin’s natural oils, squalane absorbs easily and works well for all skin types.
