Property

MODE OF ACTION
What is the Squalane
effect of the
ingredients A. Functional Level - Squalane is distributed ubiquitously in human
in the living tissues, with the greatest concentrations in the skin, where it
organism appears to function as a quencher of singlet oxygen, protecting the
upon skin surface from lipid peroxidation due to exposure to UV radiation.
application
and how B. Anatomical Level - It seems to us that squalane is in fashion and
does the there is a reason for it. Chemically speaking, it is a saturated (no
active double bonds) hydrocarbon (a molecule consisting only of carbon
ingredients
and hydrogen), meaning that it's a nice and stable oily liquid with a
work in the
long shelf life.
body?
It occurs naturally in certain fish and plant oils (e.g. olive), and in the
sebum (the oily stuff our skin produces) of the human skin. As f.c.
puts it in his awesome blog post, squalane's main things are
"emolliency, surface occlusion, and TEWL prevention all with
extreme cosmetic elegance". In other words, it's a superb
moisturizer that makes your skin nice and smooth, without being
heavy or greasy.
Another advantage of squalane is that it is pretty much compatible
with all skin types and skin conditions. It is excellent for acne-prone
skin and safe to use even if you have fungi-related skin issues, like
seborrhea or fungal acne.
