Products with Squalane

Squalane is a lightweight, transparent emollient that closely resembles the skin’s natural lipids. Used in cosmetics for its ability to nourish and soften without leaving a greasy residue, it features in 388 products in our catalog, including brands like Clinique, Mac Cosmetics, Goldwell, Uriage, and Ahava. You'll find it in treatment creams, lipsticks, serums, day creams, color products, and blushes.

Squalane is ideal for those seeking light hydration and comfort, even for sensitive or combination skin. Choose your preferred format (cream, serum, make-up) and texture. It can be combined with other hydrating ingredients; if you have highly reactive skin, introduce it gradually. No special precautions are needed, but as always, test new products on a small area first.
