In search of the ultimate clean, minimalist hydrator? Our 95% squalane serum is formulated with one of skincare's most loved, skin-identical ingredients at an exceptionally high concentration. Squalane - a stable, lightweight, plant-derived (or bioidentical) emollient - closely resembles the skin's own sebum, making it one of the most effective, non-comedogenic oils for locking in moisture, repairing the barrier and delivering instant softness without clogging pores or feeling heavy.

Why 95% Squalane Sets a New Benchmark

Squalane is prized for its perfect balance: deeply nourishing yet feather-light, rich in hydration yet never greasy. At 95% purity - among the highest concentrations available in consumer skincare - this serum delivers maximum benefits with minimal ingredients:

Rapidly replenishes moisture and prevents transepidermal water loss

Strengthens the skin barrier to shield against environmental aggressors, pollution and seasonal dryness

Softens fine lines and improves elasticity by supporting natural lipid levels

Calms irritation, redness and sensitivity - ideal for compromised or reactive skin

Enhances the performance of other actives by creating an optimal hydrated base

Because squalane is non-comedogenic, antioxidant-stable and mimics human sebum, it suits every skin type - from oily and acne-prone (won't clog pores) to very dry and mature (intense yet breathable nourishment). Dermatologists and formulators frequently highlight squalane as the ideal standalone hydrator or companion to actives like retinoids, acids and vitamin C.

How to use :

After cleansing (and any water-based serums), apply 2-3 drops to face and neck. Gently press into skin until absorbed. Use AM and/or PM - many love it alone as a minimalist moisturiser or layered over actives for added comfort and protection. It pairs exceptionally well with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, peptides, vitamin C or gentle retinoids. No need for SPF over it in the evening, but always apply broad-spectrum protection in the morning.

Who Should Choose This Serum?

Dry, dehydrated or flaky skin craving intense yet light moisture

Sensitive, reactive or barrier-compromised types needing soothing repair

Oily, combination or acne-prone skin wanting hydration without congestion

Mature skin seeking softness, plumpness and fine-line reduction

Anyone desiring a clean, high-performance, minimalist hydrator

Patch test first. Suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding (consult a doctor if unsure).
