Squalane

Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil derived from plants (like olives or sugarcane) that is highly valued in Korean skincare (K-beauty) for its ability to deeply moisturize, protect, and balance the skin. Naturally similar to the skin’s own sebum, Squalane provides hydration without clogging pores, making it ideal for all skin types—including oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin.

In K-beauty formulations, Squalane is often combined with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and soothing botanicals such as Centella Asiatica. This ensures long-lasting hydration, barrier support, and antioxidant protection in lightweight textures perfect for daily use.

Key Benefits of Squalane in K-Beauty

• Deeply moisturizes & softens – Provides lasting hydration while maintaining a silky, lightweight feel.

• Strengthens the skin barrier – Protects against dryness and environmental stress.

• Balances oil production – Hydrates without heaviness, making it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin.
