Formulate with peace of mind knowing your squalane is pure, renewable and bio-based.
Squalane
Squalane naturally occurs in the lipids of our skin. Silky and non-greasy, our bio-based Squalane helps restore skin hydration and leaves hair from feeling dry. Try using it in a formulation, add a couple drops directly to your favorite lotion, or use it alone for weightless restoration of your skin barrier. Squalane is stable to heat, cold and oxidation, and is known to be non-comedogenic.
Squalane should be made with science. Through a process called fermentation, yeast are genetically engineered to produce the building blocks of squalane, farnesene, by being fed non-GMO sugarcane that is located right next to the manufacturing facility. The farnesene is isolated and undergoes further reaction and purification to become squalane.
