INCI: Squalane

Essentially Natural Olive Squalane is a lightweight, highly stable plant-derived emollient used in skincare and haircare for slip, softness, and a silky finish. It is commonly used on its own or in serums, cleansers, creams, emulsions, and leave-in hair products where a non-greasy feel is important. Although it behaves like an oil in use, it is a very stable saturated ingredient with a cleaner, less aromatic profile than many botanical oils. This makes it especially useful when a smooth, elegant finish is the main goal.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock olive squalane because it is one of the easiest ingredients to build around when a formula needs lightness and polish. It works beautifully in minimalist routines, supports elegant skin feel in many product types, and brings stability without the heavier character of richer oils.

Looking for an alternative? Sugar Squalane is an easy swap for Olive Squalane, with the same lightweight, silky feel and the same INCI (Squalane). In most formulations, you can simply use the same amount (1-to-1).

My favorite skin care product!

To be honest, this product has changed my life. Despite having combination skin, I have been using it since 2020 because the products I was using at the time damaged my skin barrier and left my skin feeling dry all the time. My skin barrier has now been restored, and the oil has made my skin much more hydrated and clearer.

Magical must have!

Oh how is it that I only discover this fabulous product in my fifties? I'm hooked!
I use it on my face twice daily and any other dry patch, example my dry elbows and it takes the dryness away with one application.
No more dry skin for me! My face is soooo soft.
If you can only afford one beauty product for your face, this is it!

Squalane for Stretch Marks

This is my second bottle of olive squalane that I've ordered from Essentially Natural. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it helps with the treatment of stretch marks. I applied the squalane to a stubborn stretch mark that was pink and angry looking for more than a year now. I noticed that it had faded significantly in just a couple of weeks of use. It's also great to use as a lightweight hair oil. I love that it's a natural, affordable cruelty free product.

Nice hair oil

This oil is lighter than olive oil. I used it to wash my hair (along with other ingredients of course), taking my type of hair into consideration (dry strands and scalp that becomes oily), it doesn't leave the hair on my scalp as oily as olive oil does. The strands are still too dry though.

Thank you for this amazing product. I made a serum with Olive Squalane and love the way my skin has improved. It feels like satin, lines are softened and "plumped out'. Great service and appreciate the little gifts that arrive and informative articles.

Thank you EN STAFF.

Good product

This is a good product if you suffer with oily skin, it absorbs well and doesn't leave an oily residue on the skin. Squalene is also non comodogenic so it doesn't block pores.

Anita (Johannesburg, ZA)

I love how plump it makes my skin feel! Will definitely incorporate it into my face creams in future.

Thanks for the descriptions of products, otherwise I might never have tried it.

Stunning Squaline

Love this oil! I have used it for a few months now and it has made a remarkable difference. I apply the oil after my HA serum to lock in the moisture.
I can’t go without my Squaline… and ofcourse the added benefit is that I never have to wait long for my products! The service is very efficient!
