This ingredient has emollient properties that can help smooth and soften your skin.
Because it’s “non-comedogenic,” squalane oil won’t clog your pores. And, because it mimics your skin’s natural oils, it’s suitable for many skin types (including sensitive skin).
Squalane is often included as a moisturizing agent in skincare products for dry skin, mature skin, eczema, and psoriasis.
When choosing a squalane oil, you can consider things like:
- Ingredients: Ingredients like salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, witch hazel, and tea tree oil can be beneficial.
- Texture: Lightweight textures and feel are good for oily skin.
- Scent: Scented moisturizers can aggravate acne.
