Squalane oil benefits
squalane oil is suitable for all skin types, from dry to sensitive to oily and acne-prone.
Here's what squalane can do for your skin:
moisturize: squalane is an excellent moisturizer and leaves skin hydrated, plump and soft. The texture is super-light and non-greasy, and it sinks into the skin fast.
eye and lip treatment: i've found squalane ideal for both treating and preventing eye-area dryness. I have a tendency to get irritation under my eyes, even from natural ingredients—they'll often cause crepey, dry patches that take days to repair. Squalane fixes that right up. It also heals chapped lips better than most lip balms!
prevent irritation: unlike other moisturizers, squalane is to be non-irritating, making it great for people with sensitive skin conditions. It's also completely odourless and colourless.
non-comedogenic: although theoretically, any oil can be clogging, I think squalane is one of the least likely to cause issues. For me, it doesn't clog pores or cause acne in the slightest. If you've found other oils too heavy or comedogenic, I think it's definitely worth a shot!
oil control: squalane can help regulate excess oil production. That makes it a better choice than jojoba, which also has this property, but is a less stable monounsaturated fat.
soothe: squalane can speed healing of cracked or chapped skin, and soothes eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
fight bacteria: squalane isnaturally antibacterial (just like coconut oil).
protection from oxidative damage: most importantly, squalane helps protect your skin from the free radicals that can cause age spots and premature aging. It may even help fade dark pigment over time.
