Ingredient breakdown

Squalane
Limited evidence
Commonly used as an emollient to soften skin and reduce moisture loss. It has been tested clinically as part of a multi-ingredient emollient blend (alongside shea butter, glycerin and hyaluronic acid) rather than in isolation, so standalone efficacy data specific to squalane is limited.

Dry, Sensitive
