Squalane

Squalane is naturally present in both botanical oils and in the sebum in our skin and accounts for about 10% of our sebum composition.  Squalane is used as a moisturizer and conditioner. Squalane protects our skin from lipid peroxidation. Squalane is intended to replace the squalane our body loses that causes our skin to become dry cracked and irritated.

Originally, commercially available forms of squalane were derived from shark liver. At Kaneya, we formulate with plant-derived Squalane - olive. This has excellent conditioning and hydrating benefits.
