Olive Squalane
Olive Squalane (Squalane)
Olive Squalane is a stable, plant-derived emollient oil made from olives. It is lightweight, clear, odourless and non-greasy, and is valued in skincare as a gentle, fast-absorbing moisturising oil that leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
Squalane is the stable, saturated form of squalene — a lipid that occurs naturally in the skin and in plants. Because it is very resistant to oxidation, it is a popular choice for serums, moisturisers, body oils and massage blends, and has been reported to help improve the skin feel of formulations and support skin hydration.
INCI Name: Squalane (olive-derived)
Safety information: for external use only. Generally well tolerated on all skin types; a patch test is recommended before first use. See the Safety Data Sheet and Ingredient & Allergen Statement in the Product Documents section below for full detail.

Blends Well With
