It is named after squalus (Latin for shark), because the substance was originally extracted from shark liver. In the cosmetics industry, a large part of the squalane is still extracted in this way, at the expense of millions of sharks every year. Our squalane is completely plant-based and is extracted from olives, a lot more animal-friendly and just as effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSqualane is not technically an oil but a saturated hydrocarbon (C30), which is created by hydrogenation of squalene. That sounds complicated, but simply means: very stable, very long shelf life and not susceptible to oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Squalane made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlives naturally contain a small amount of squalene, the unsaturated precursor molecule of squalane. This squalene is extracted from the olives and then gently hydrogenated, creating squalane. This step makes the fabric particularly stable and hardly oxidizes, while retaining its skin-related properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is Squalane so special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur skin naturally produces squalene, which makes up about 12 to 13% of our own sebum. From our twenties onwards, this production gradually decreases, contributing to drier, less supple skin. Applying squalane to the skin is therefore an almost direct addition to something we already make naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its unique molecular structure, squalane feels incredibly light, absorbs easily and is well tolerated by almost every skin type, including oily or sensitive skin. In addition, squalane is odorless and colorless, and it is a great ingredient to mix with other oils or in DIY skincare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Squalane for your skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight texture, silky soft to the touch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSqualane feels remarkably light and silky soft on the skin. It absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for all skin types\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause squalane is so similar to something the skin makes itself, it is almost always well tolerated, even by oily, sensitive or combination skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro-age operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSqualane supplements what the skin makes less and less of itself from the twenties. In doing so, it contributes to a supple, hydrated and elastic skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal make-up base\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSqualane absorbs smoothly and leaves a smooth, hydrated skin. This makes it an ideal primer for makeup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Squalane for your hair\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGives shine without heaviness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few drops of squalane in the lengths makes dry and frizzy hair softer and shinier, without feeling heavy or greasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Squalane?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor your face, take a few drops between your hands and spread the oil over your face. Squalane is suitable for daily use, both in the morning and in the evening. For your body, apply a thin layer to damp skin after showering. For your hair, massage a few drops into the lengths and ends of dry hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips for using Squalane\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSqualane has a particularly long shelf life thanks to its stable structure. The oil hardly oxidizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to its neutral scent and color, squalane is ideal as a base oil for DIY facial serums, oil blends and make-up primers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlends wonderfully with more intense oils such as rosehip oil or argan oil to lighten their texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Natural Heroes","offers":[{"title":"30 ml","offer_id":53165518291287,"sku":"SQL-NH-01","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 ml","offer_id":53165518324055,"sku":"SQL-NH-02","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"300 ml","offer_id":53165518356823,"sku":"SQL-NH-03","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 ml (jerrycan)","offer_id":53165518389591,"sku":"SQL-NH-04","price":78.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2500 ml (jerrycan)","offer_id":53165518422359,"sku":"SQL-NH-05","price":165.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5000 ml (jerrycan)","offer_id":53165518455127,"sku":"SQL-NH-06","price":249.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/5214\/4215\/files\/119-bottle-b-30-3KSQ-sRGB.png?v=1774934753","url":"https:\/\/alhalalcosmetics.nl\/en-nl\/products\/squalane-vegetable-from-olives","provider":"Halal Cosmetics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
