Squalane is a lightweight, skin-compatible hydrator known for its ability to help maintain moisture and softness. Naturally similar to lipids found in the skin, it works seamlessly to support hydration and balance. In DECORTÉ formulas, it helps replenish moisture while leaving skin soft, smooth, and refined.
What Does It Do?
Squalane is a lightweight lipid known for helping:
Prevent moisture loss
Soften and smooth skin
Enhance radiance and glow
What Are Its Origins?
Squalane is derived from squalene, a lipid naturally found in the skin. In skincare, it is typically sourced from plant-based ingredients such as olives or sugarcane and stabilized into Squalane to create a lightweight, highly stable, and skin-compatible form.
