Benefit #1: Squalane is a lightweight moisturizer.
Because squalane is so similar to your own sebum, it only makes sense that it’s going to be a perfect fit for your skincare routine. And since it has such low molecular weight, it’s going to absorb almost immediately into your skin – but without leaving a greasy film on it afterward. (1)
Benefit #2: The formula is non-comedogenic and safe for acne.
You might be thinking that since squalane is so absorbent and mimics your skin’s own sebum so well that it’s going to be a breakout waiting to happen. Squalane is actually quite non-comedogenic, which means you won’t break out when using it on your face and body. (2)
Benefit #3: Its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe sensitive or irritated skin.
If your skin is prone to acne, redness, or erythema, then squalane is okay for you. Squalane is actually the perfect remedy for taming that problematic skin, thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory nature. Simply smooth it on, then watch the redness and irritation go away. (3)
Benefit #4: Squalane is full of free-radical fighting antioxidants.
As you probably already know, free radicals are one of the worst things that can happen to not only your body, but also to your skin. Leading to oxidative damage, it can accelerate the aging process, making you look and feel older than you really are. It can also lead to systemic inflammation as well, affecting your overall well being.
Squalane has been shown to be high in antioxidants, which help combat the oxidative stress that leads to the formation of free radicals in your body. The result is going to be much more healthy, youthful skin. (4)
Benefit #5: And finally, squalane also improves your skin’s elasticity.
Squalane is pretty amazing against free radicals and oxidative stress? By supplementing your beauty routine with squalane, you can help actually reverse the signs of aging by restoring your body’s endemic collagen levels. In turn, you’ll start to notice firmer, smoother skin overall, free from those fine lines and wrinkles that can affect your self-esteem and your general appearance. (5)
Conclusion
Squalane is impressively gentle and entirely natural. With all of these incredible known benefits that it offers, you truly benefit when adding it into your beauty and skincare routine.
Mixing it with another moisturizer or carrier oil, including castor oil, it's very effective and you will reap the benefits with a smoother, less wrinkled skin!
