Squalane is a lightweight emollient that softens skin, seals in moisture, and reinforces the barrier. Because it mimics the skin's own oils, it absorbs beautifully and helps keep skin smooth, supple and protected.

Yes — squalane suits virtually all skin types as a gentle, non-irritating moisturiser and barrier supporter. It's lightweight enough for daily use and layers well with other ingredients.

Yes — squalane is non-comedogenic, so it hydrates and softens without clogging pores, making it a great lightweight moisturiser even for oily and breakout-prone skin. See our oily skin collection.

They do different jobs and work well together: hyaluronic acid is a humectant that draws water into skin, while squalane is an emollient that seals moisture in and softens. Use HA first, then squalane to lock it in. See our hyaluronic acid collection.

Yes — squalane is excellent for dry skin, softening and sealing in moisture to relieve tightness and flaking, especially layered over a humectant. See our normal & dry skin collection.

Yes — by topping up the skin's natural lipids, squalane reinforces the moisture barrier, improving resilience and reducing water loss. It's a great choice for compromised or sensitive skin.

Yes — squalane is gentle and stable enough for daily morning and evening use. Apply it as the moisturising step, after water-based serums and before (or as) your final cream.

Squalene is a lipid naturally found in skin but unstable and prone to oxidation. Squalane is the hydrogenated, shelf-stable version used in skincare — same softening benefits, far more stable and long-lasting.

Squalane supports anti-ageing indirectly by keeping skin hydrated, supple and barrier-healthy, which makes fine lines less noticeable and helps other actives work better. Pair it with retinol and antioxidants.

Apply squalane after your water-based serums (like hyaluronic acid) as your moisturising step, morning and night. It also makes a lovely final layer to seal in the rest of your routine.
