Characteristics

This ingredient is high in one of the more stable fatty acids, oleic acid (Omega 9). Squalene mimics the natural sebum which leaves the user feeling a boost in hydration and an increase in moisture levels. Squalene is in its natural form from olive oil. While squalane (note the a vs. e) is hydrogenated and makes the ingredient harder to apply to the skin and hair.

Benefits

This ingredient adds viscosity and a luxurious feel to a formula. It has been shown to reduce redness and swelling. Squalene is also known to be a natural emollient that retains moisture and does not clog pores. It can also be applied to hair to increase shine and prevent breakage.
