Olive Squalane is a plant-based emollient derived from olives and known for its exceptional ability to mimic the skin’s natural oils. This lightweight, non-comedogenic oil absorbs quickly and provides long-lasting moisturization without leaving a greasy feel. Olive Squalane is ideal for all skin types and works especially well in facial serums, creams, balms, and massage oils. Its hydrogenated structure makes it stable and resistant to oxidation, extending shelf life in formulations. It also serves as an excellent carrier oil for essential oils and other actives. With its silky texture and skin-friendly profile, Olive Squalane is a must-have for clean, high-performance skincare products.
