- Benefits
Squalane penetrates the skin quickly and easily to offer moisture, enhanced elasticity and resilience. It boosts the skin’s water-retention, leaving it looking and feeling hydrated, smoother, and softer to the touch without leaving a greasy or sticky residue. For this reason, it can be applied to both the skin and the hair “neat” as a serum, or it can be blended into natural product formulations along with other oils and function as a carrier agent that provides excellent spread.
Olive Squalane helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and cracks formed by extreme dryness and damage, making it ideal for use on not only the face but also the cuticles, heels, elbows, and knees. Furthermore, it protects against the harsh effects of the elements, UV radiation, and pollution. Its non-comedogenic quality makes Squalane suitable for all skin types, even oily complexions.
Used on the hair, Squalane demonstrates the same hydrating activity as it does on the skin, working to infuse the strands with moisture, to imitate the function of its natural sebum, to protect against damage caused by weather, to repair damage such as split ends, and to preserve the hair’s softness.
Applications & Uses
- Application
Adding Olive Squalane to cosmetic formulas helps them retain their properties and benefits, such as their intended viscosity, even when subjected to temperatures ranging from -30 ᵒC to 250 ᵒC. Squalane also helps final products remain exceptionally stable against oxidation, loss of moisture, rancidity, and congealing.
- Recommended Usage
Olive Squalane is compatible with vegetable oils, waxes, organic solvents, and esters as well as other constituents that share its lipophilic quality. It can be incorporated into cosmetic formulations for butters, creams, and lotions at 2% to 30% during their oil phases.
