100% Plant-Derived Hemi-Squalane

A beauty-must have for your skin and hair alike. This ultra-nourishing and lightweight emollient sinks quickly into skin that soothes a dry or lacklustre complexion. Its high spreadability doubles as the perfect leave-in for sleek, frizz-free tresses.

WHY IT’S SPECIAL

Say hello to supple skin (& healthy hair!). The 100% Plant-Derived Hemi-Squalane is an excellent, non-comedogenic emollient that reduces the ongoing loss of hydration, the result of which leads to weakened dermal elasticity and suppleness. Its lightweight and non-greasy formula makes it a great option especially for oily skin types.

Due to its low molecular weight, it provides greater spreadability and leaves a light and dry after-feel, making it also a very suitable leave-in treatment for reducing hair frizz and tangles. As if you aren’t already getting enough bang for your buck with this product, its thin texture makes it ideal for penetrating skin so you can also use it to relieve dry and chapped lips.

Suitable for: All skin types, especially for oily and acne-prone skin.

Feels like: A dry oil serum.

pH Level: N/A

✴︎ Hemi-Squalane: Chemically known as C13-16 Isoparaffin. Squalane is a saturated and stable hydrocarbon that mimics squalene, a natural compound in your skin that plays an important role in helping to replenish and strengthen the skin’s lipid barrier. Hemi-Squalane has half the molecular weight that of squalane, making it lighter and drier.
