ingredient spotlight: olive-derived squalane

In the ever-evolving world of skincare, a multitude of ingredients vie for our attention. But some stand out for their unique properties and ability to deliver real results. In this series we will take some common ingredients and consider them individually and the benefits they bring to your routine.
Today, we're diving deep into our first superstar: squalane, specifically olive-derived squalane, a plant-based powerhouse that's not only kind to your skin but also kind to the planet.

What is Olive-Derived Squalane?
Squalane is a natural hydrocarbon found in various plant sources, including olives. Traditionally, squalane was extracted from shark liver oil, raising ethical and sustainability concerns. Thankfully, olive-derived squalane offers a cruelty-free and eco-friendly alternative, derived from the leftover pits of olive oil production. This ingenious process transforms what would otherwise be waste into a potent skincare ingredient.

Why You Should Love Olive-Derived Squalane
Olive-derived squalane boasts a plethora of benefits that make it a valuable addition to any skincare routine. Here's a glimpse into why it deserves a spot on your vanity:

• Natural Origin: Sourced from a renewable resource, olive-derived squalane aligns perfectly with clean beauty principles. It's a win for your skin and the environment!

• Lightweight and Non-Greasy: Unlike some oils that can leave a heavy residue, olive-derived squalane absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling luxuriously hydrated without any greasiness.

• Skin Barrier Champion: This wonder ingredient helps strengthen and maintain your skin's natural moisture barrier, which is vital for keeping it healthy and resilient. This makes it ideal for those with dry, sensitive, or irritated skin.

• Antioxidant Powerhouse: Olive-derived squalane is packed with antioxidants that combat free radical damage, environmental aggressors, and premature signs of aging.

• Non-Comedogenic Savior: Struggling with acne? Fret not! Olive-derived squalane is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores, making it suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.

Sustainable Skincare Starts Here
By choosing olive-derived squalane, you're not just nourishing your skin; you're making a conscious choice for the planet. It's a perfect example of how sustainable practices can translate into powerful skincare solutions.
