Olive Squalane – Stable Plant‑Derived Emollient for Skin & Hair
Experience the benefits of pure Olive Squalane, a plant‑derived oil obtained from the unsaponifiable fraction of olives and hydrogenated to create a stable, saturated hydrocarbon. Unlike squalene, which is highly unsaturated and prone to oxidation, squalane remains shelf‑stable and non‑rancid. This colorless, almost odorless oil mimics the lipids naturally found in human sebum, delivering lightweight hydration and a silky feel without clogging pores. Our Olive Squalane is undiluted and uncompromised, free from carriers, phthalates, proteins and irradiation, ensuring maximum purity and effectiveness.
Key Features
- Plant‑Derived & Sustainable: Derived from olives (Olea europaea) via hydrogenation of the natural squalene fraction, yielding a stable, non‑oxidizing oil. Free from GMOs, animal ingredients and BSE/TSE contamination.
- Colorless & Odorless: Nearly colorless and almost odorless with a low iodine value, making it an ideal carrier for fragrances and active ingredients.
- Ultra‑Lightweight & Non‑Greasy: Rapidly absorbed into skin without leaving an oily residue; helps seal in moisture while maintaining breathability.
- Moisturizing & Barrier‑Supportive: Acts as a powerful emollient that softens rough skin and reduces transepidermal water loss, aiding the skin’s natural barrier.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: Mimics skin’s natural sebum, making it well‑tolerated by dry, oily, acne‑prone and sensitive skin; its non‑comedogenic nature means it won’t clog pores.
- Balances Oil Production & Calms Inflammation: Helps regulate excess oil, reduces shine and calms redness; research suggests anti‑inflammatory properties that may benefit acne and eczema.
- Hair‑Care Benefits: Provides a natural moisturizing factor that adds glossy shine and smoothness to hair while helping reduce breakage and split ends.
- Safe & Clean: Classified as non‑hazardous, free of phthalates, ethers and proteins; produced under hygienic conditions that do not support microbial growth.
