INCI: Squalane

Essentially Natural Olive Squalane is a lightweight, very stable plant-derived emollient that gives skin a silky, non-greasy finish. It is a saturated hydrocarbon that is naturally present in the skin and is widely used in modern skincare and haircare for its elegant slip and compatibility. Olive squalane is popular as a stand-alone moisturiser oil or as an ingredient in serums, cleansers, makeup, and baby care formulas. It is 100% plant-derived and ECOCERT approved.

Also available in Sample Sizes.
