What's actually doing the work
Squalane
Hydrogenated Squalene / Plant-Derived Squalane
Lipid
A saturated, stable form of squalene — a skin lipid that declines dramatically after age 30. Structurally identical to human skin's natural oil: non-comedogenic, non-irritating, suitable for all skin types. Unlike most plant oils, it is oxidatively stable and will not go rancid. Functions as emollient, mild occlusive, and antioxidant.
