Description
Olive Squalane is a plant-derived oil made from olives and hydrogenated for stability. It is clear, colourless and odourless, with a lightweight, silky texture that absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy feel. Squalane is very resistant to going rancid, so it keeps well.
It is popular as a simple face oil, a few drops pressed onto clean skin morning or night, and as a light, non-greasy body or massage oil. It is also handy for lightening heavier oils, and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
- Lightweight, silky and fast-absorbing
- Odourless, so it suits scented and unscented blends
- Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth
- Very stable with a long shelf life
Pairs well with: Jojoba, rosehip, camellia, sweet almond, lavender, frankincense, geranium and neroli
