Sugarcane Squalane

Description

Squalane is an oil, identical to a substance (a type of fat) that occurs naturally in our skin. Human sebum consists of no less than 13% squalane. We produce it through our hair, nails and skin, but around the age of 25 the amount of squalane you produce decreases. And that’s a shame, because that’s one of the most important substances that keeps the skin look youthful.

What to use it for:

Face cream replacement, face oil, eye serum, an addition to a favorite cream, an ointment for hair, scalp and nails.

Base or addition to other oils: In any proportion mix a portion of squalane and another preferred oil on your palm and apply to clean, moist skin. Rub it in until completely absorbed. Squalane works excellent as an carrier oil of active engrediënts.

Hair ointment: Rub a few drops of the oil in your palms and apply them on the tips (combing hair with your fingers).

No sharks were harmed!

Squalane is named after squalus, which means shark in Latin, because until recently it was extracted from shark liver. However, thankful to technological improvements and regulations on skin cosmetics it’s currently derived it from olives or sugarcane!
