Squalane Oil

Garden of Wisdom's Squalane Oil is naturally produced by the skin, but some of us have trouble producing enough for healthy skin. Our Squalane Oil is derived from olive oil, and is a great natural substitute. It is highly compatible with skin, and it quickly and deeply absorbed with out leaving an oily film or residue. It helps to condition skin and trap moisture to it. Squalane Oil leaves a protective barrier on the skin, helping to keep it safe from harmful pollutants. This oil is healing and boosts cellular regeneration, and will help to repair damage such as chapped or cracked skin. Squalane also helps to soften rough skin. This oil has natural anti-bacterial properties.

That Squalene is hydrogenated into Squalane (a stable, skin-friendly molecule). It’s then refined and vacuum-distilled for purity and tested. Because of how ingredients are measured in the lab, even excellent Squalane usually tests 99%+, not 100%.The tiny remainder is just trace, naturally occurring plant lipids or a touch of moisture.There’s no fragrance, no essential oils, no preservatives, no silicones, nothing else added.
