The Skincare Benefits of Squalane

The Skincare Benefits of Squalane

Squalane has anti-aging properties that can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles - and is one of the hero ingredients in our Dream Cream Nighttime Moisturizer.

Squalane is a highly moisturizing and versatile ingredient found in many skincare products today. Squalane is a naturally occurring component of human sebum, the oil that our skin produces to keep it hydrated and protected. However, as we age, our skin's natural squalane production decreases, leading to dry, dull and aging skin. Using a nighttime moisturizer with squalane like Dream Cream Nighttime Moisturizer can help replenish the skin's natural oil, resulting in numerous benefits for the skin.

Moisturization

Squalane is an excellent moisturizer that can hydrate the skin without leaving it feeling greasy or heavy. It is a lightweight and non-greasy oil that is easily absorbed into the skin, delivering intense hydration where it is needed the most. Squalane is an excellent choice for people with dry, sensitive or mature skin as it helps to soothe and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth and refreshed.

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Squalane has anti-aging properties that can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by nourishing and rejuvenating the skin, increasing its elasticity and firmness. Squalane also helps to boost collagen production, which is the protein responsible for keeping skin firm and youthful-looking. Regular use of squalane in skincare products can help reduce the appearance of aging, leaving skin looking radiant and youthful.

Improves Skin Barrier Function

The skin barrier function is responsible for protecting the skin against external factors such as pollutants, bacteria, and UV rays. A weakened skin barrier can lead to dry, sensitive and irritated skin. Squalane helps to improve the skin's barrier function by creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface. This barrier helps to lock in moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and protected from external factors. 

Non-Comedogenic

Squalane is a non-comedogenic ingredient, which means it does not clog pores. This makes it an excellent choice for people with acne-prone or oily skin as it helps to keep the skin hydrated without exacerbating breakouts. Squalane is also suitable for use on all skin types, as it is gentle and non-irritating.

Anti-inflammatory Properties

Squalane has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm irritated skin. This makes it an excellent ingredient for people with skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis. Squalane helps to reduce redness, swelling and discomfort associated with these skin conditions, leaving skin looking and feeling healthy.

Suitable for Sensitive Skin

Squalane is a gentle and non-irritating ingredient that is suitable for use on all skin types, including sensitive skin. Its gentle formula makes it an excellent choice for people with skin sensitivities, as it helps to soothe and nourish the skin without causing any discomfort or irritation.
