Squalane
Squalane is more stable than Squalene, which our skin naturally produces.
Nearly all plants and animals produce Squalene, and 12% of Squalene in humans originates from Sebum.
Sebum is produced by the sebaceous gland in humans, and is not produced as a final product anywhere else in the body.
The purpose of Squalene is to provide topical lubrication on the skin's surface and protect our skin from the elements.
Unfortunately, production of Squalene slows after we reach our mid-20s, nearly coming to a halt in our 30s. For this reason, supplementation is ideal.
It is essential to know the difference between Squalene and Squalane.
Squalene is a natural compound made by plants and animals. Because Squalene oxidizes very quickly when exposed to the environment, it is not possible to use Squalene in cosmetic products.
Squalane is a stable variant of Squalene made by the hydrogenation of Squalene.
Our Squalane is derived from Olive Oil or Sugar Cane. We do not use animal by-products.
The All-Rounder Oil for Ageing and Dry Skin
The reasons for Squalanes popularity has less to do with gimmicks and more to do with the oil's vast list of ever-available advantages. If you can name the benefit, Squalane probably transfers those benefits to your skin, which is why it has become the skin-loving oil of the century.
Fights Fine Lines and Wrinkles
This wonder oil is fantastic at combating wrinkles and fine lines. Although losing elastin and collagen in our skin leads to fine lines and wrinkles, these wrinkles and fine lines only appear on the skin's surface.
Because of that, you can treat wrinkles on either the outermost layer or delve into the deeper layers.
Squalane targets the dryness and dullness associated with aging skin by replenishing the infamous Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) barrier, helping your skin maintain hydration.
Doesn't Clog Pores
Squalane is not an oil you should be concerned about using because of breakouts.
Since the oil is non-comedogenic, your skin won't react negatively, making it the ideal oil for oily and combination skin.
Evens Skin Tone
Beyond fine lines and wrinkles, another obvious sign that you're getting older is your complexion.
Youngsters don't have age spots, something Squalane helps clear up. The oil brightens your skin and reduces uneven skin tones, restoring your radiance and inner glow.
Soften Rough Texture
Your skin becomes drier as you age due to transepidermal water loss, which means that your natural hydration is vacating the surface of your skin, making it rough, dry, and patchy.
This rough, dry texture also clings to any line and magnifies it to make wrinkles and fine lines more pronounced.
Squalane restores the soft texture by creating a barrier on the skin's surface that inhibits moisture loss.
Desancto uses many oils for radiant skin, and Squalane is fundamental.
Squalane oil is essential because it provides an intrinsic process. Your skin is already losing Squalene, which leads to drier, more fragile skin. If you want to revive the moisture balance and strengthen your skin from other aging accelerants, you'll need to restore your Squalene.
Or you can use Desancto.
