Healthy skin starts with a healthy skin barrier, and few ingredients help support that barrier quite like squalane. Lightweight, silky and incredibly versatile, squalane has become one of the most sought-after moisturising ingredients in modern skincare.
At Naturals Beauty, our Midnight Repair Squalane Serum showcases this remarkable botanical ingredient, delivering lightweight hydration that leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and nourished.
What is Squalane?
Squalane is the stable form of squalene, a lipid that naturally occurs in our skin. As we age, our natural squalene levels gradually decline, which can contribute to skin feeling drier over time.
Modern skincare uses plant-derived squalane, commonly sourced from olives or sugarcane, to help replenish moisture while maintaining a lightweight feel.
Because it closely mimics the skin's own natural lipids, squalane is exceptionally well tolerated by most skin types.
Why Has It Become Such an Important Skincare Ingredient?
Although squalane is a relatively modern addition to skincare formulations, its popularity has grown rapidly because of its exceptional moisturising performance.
Unlike heavier oils, squalane absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving an oily residue. It helps reduce moisture loss while leaving the skin feeling silky smooth.
Its gentle nature makes it suitable for daily use throughout the year.
What Does Modern Science Tell Us?
Research has shown that squalane functions as an effective emollient, helping to improve skin softness and support the skin's natural moisture barrier.
It is lightweight, non-comedogenic and highly stable, making it an excellent ingredient for both dry and oily skin types.
Its compatibility with the skin also makes it an ideal carrier for other beneficial botanical ingredients.
Why Naturals Beauty Chooses Squalane
When we developed our Midnight Repair Squalane Serum, we wanted a product that delivered intensive hydration without feeling heavy.
Plant-derived squalane became the perfect choice.
We pair it with carefully selected botanical oils, including Jojoba Seed Oil, to create a silky serum that absorbs beautifully while helping support overnight skin hydration.
The result is a minimalist yet highly effective formulation that allows each ingredient to perform at its best.
