Olive Squalane

Helps restore the concentration of natural squalene to more youthful levels (1). Squalane is a natural component that comprises (around 13%) of our skin sebum and protects our lipid skin barrier from oxidation (2). With age, we lose the capacity to produce the same amount of squalene therefore making our skin more vulnerable to the sun’s UV rays and other oxidative factors. Squalene has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce redness and swelling. It’s non-comedogenic, so it won't clog the pores. It moisturizes and soothes dry, rough, and textured skin. It helps skin retain moisture by preventing excessive trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) (3). Enhances skin's natural barrier against harmful environmental factors.
