Squalane is a great moisturizer
Our bodies have the ability to moisturize our skin. However, not everyone can always get enough moisture. As we age, it becomes harder to feel moisture. That's why we try to moisturize our skin by using lots of cosmetics.
Squalane is a moisturizer that acts like human sebum to soften the skin and is also a natural antioxidant.
Squalane? Squalene?
Squalene is a lipid naturally produced by human skin cells. The amount produced decreases as we age. It peaks in our teens and then decreases in our 20s and 30s. This is why skin tends to feel dry and stiff as we age.
Squalene is not just a lipid produced by humans: it is also found in shark liver, olive fruit, rice bran and sugar cane.
Squalane is a stabilized form of squalene that can be used in cosmetics.
The effects of squalane
Healthy skin needs moisture. By applying squalane to the skin, you can replenish the squalene that is lacking, and expect a moisturizing effect.
In addition, the antioxidants contained in squalane prevent skin damage and free radicals. Daily use of squalane promotes collagen production, leading to firmer skin.
The effect of squalane on hair
Squalane has wonderful effects not only on the face and body, but is especially recommended for hair care.
It is said that moisturizing your hair will increase its shine and prevent breakage. Hair naturally contains natural oils, but damage caused by weather, age, diet, UV rays, etc. can dry out your hair.
Squalane replenishes your hair's oils and protects it from further damage.
For acne-prone and oily skin
If you have acne-prone or oily skin, using the wrong skin care products can make you more susceptible to breakouts and can even make dark spots worse, but squalane is a great moisturizer for all skin types.
If other oils or moisturizers are too heavy or oily for your skin, squalane may work just fine. It's lightweight and non-comedogenic, so it won't clog your pores.
Of course, it is also a recommended moisturizing ingredient for people with sensitive or dry skin .
When choosing squalane
As mentioned above, squalane is sometimes obtained from shark liver.
In that case, it is certainly not an environmentally friendly or sustainable choice.
Make sure to choose one that uses plant-based squalane rather than shark-derived squalane.
