Squalane

Squalane is more than just a moisturizer. It's a true skin barrier booster! Because it occurs naturally in our skin, it's absorbed particularly well. Squalane replenishes lipid gaps in the skin, thus supporting its natural protective barrier. The result is smoother, more supple, and more resilient skin that is better protected against external aggressors.
