Why Everyone’s Talking About Squalane (And Your Skin Will Too)
Hydration. Balance. Barrier Repair - All in One Drop.
What Is Squalane?
Squalane (with an "a") is the lightweight, non-comedogenic version of squalene - a compound our skin naturally produces. But as we age, our natural squalene levels decline. That’s where squalane steps in - a stable, hydrogenated form derived from olives, sugarcane, or rice bran - mimicking what your skin already knows and loves.
Why Your Skin Loves It
Squalane isn’t trendy. It’s timeless. And here’s why:
-
Deep Hydration, Without the Grease:
Absorbs instantly, balances oil, and leaves skin calm - not sticky. -
Barrier Strength:
Reinforces your skin’s natural moisture barrier, preventing TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss). -
Soothing for Sensitive Skin:
Zero fragrance. Zero essential oils. Just soft, skin-loving simplicity. -
Boosts Other Ingredients:
Helps other actives (like Vitamin C and Niacinamide) glide better and work smarter.
Where You’ll Find It in Willingly
-
Turmeric Glow Face Serum - Squalane teams up with turmeric, centella, and licorice to calm irritation and even skin tone.
-
Almond Glow Oil - A blend of almond, jojoba, sea buckthorn, and squalane. Your night oil ritual, refined.
Both formulas are free from alcohol, essential oils, and synthetic fragrances - making squalane your go-to if your skin says “no thanks” to the harsh stuff.
Fun Fact:
Unlike some emollients, squalane works beautifully on all skin types - from dry to oily to sensitive. Why? Because your skin already understands it.
Who Should Use Squalane?
✔️ Dry or Dehydrated Skin
✔️ Sensitive or Red-Prone Skin
✔️ Barrier-Damaged Skin
✔️ Oily or Acne-Prone Skin (yes, really!)
✔️ Skin recovering from exfoliation or retinoids
It’s not “just oil.” It’s biomimetic, meaning it behaves like your skin’s natural oils - offering support without triggering breakouts or clogging pores.

FAQs
Is squalane the same as squalene?
Nope. Squalene (with an “e”) is unstable. Squalane (with an “a”) is shelf-stable, skin-safe, and non-oxidizing.
Is it vegan?
Ours is 100% plant-based. No sharks involved.
Is it safe for oily skin?
Yes! Squalane is ultra-light, fast-absorbing, and even helps regulate sebum.
Why Add It to Your Shelf?
In a world of “miracle” actives and bold claims, squalane is quietly effective - soothing, strengthening, and protecting your skin with every drop. If your skin ever feels like “too much,” squalane is your skin’s way of saying: Let’s just breathe.
