Olive Squalane

DESCRIPTION: Olive Squalane is a natural emollient derived 100% from unsaponified molecules of the olive oil. It is a conditioning emollient with skin softening properties and a silky after-feel. It has good spreading properties, lubricity and superior stability. Squalane is produced naturally by the skin but decreases with age. Because it is similar to sebum, it is fast absorbing/penetrating. It is fast penetrating within the epidermis and enhances elasticity and resilience of the skin.
Olive Squalane remains on the upper levels of the skin, providing smoothening effect, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and will not leave a greasy after feel like most natural oils do. In hair care, it helps prevent split ends and adds to the moisturizing needs in aircare
