What is Squalene?
Squalene is a highly valuable natural lipid that is also found in our skin's own natural sebum structure and supports the skin's moisture balance. In the cosmetic world, it generally appears in its stable form obtained from plant sources such as olives, amaranth seed, rice bran, and sugar cane. This unique component, carefully formulated in Lacinia products, shows extraordinary biological compatibility with the skin barrier. Thanks to its lightweight, non-comedogenic, and rapidly absorbed molecular structure, it offers deep care without leaving a greasy feeling on the skin surface. This ingredient, offered to the skin with inspiration from nature, is becoming an indispensable part of the daily skin care routine.
Benefits in Skin Care
Squalene supports the skin in gaining a smoother and more radiant appearance by increasing its moisture-retention capacity. It is a strong building block that helps protect the skin against external factors and supports the skin's natural elasticity with regular use. It provides a silky touch by relieving dryness on the skin surface.
- Deeply moisturizes without weighing down the skin or clogging pores.
- Gently softens the skin texture, providing a smooth and velvety feel.
- Revitalizes pale and tired-looking skin, adding a natural brightness and glow.
- Nourishes and refreshes the skin by supporting the skin surface against external factors.
How to Use?
Squalene can be used both as a pure face oil and included in the formulations of serums or moisturizing creams. In your Lacinia skin care routine, after cleansing and toning your skin, you can apply it just before the moisturizing stage or by mixing a few drops into your moisturizer. Suitable for morning and evening use, this component should be worked into the entire face, neck, and chest area with gentle massage movements. Thanks to its light structure, it creates a perfect base under makeup and supports the skin's vibrant appearance throughout the day.
Who Can Use It?
Squalene is a universal ingredient that can be safely used by all skin types thanks to its incredible similarity to human sebum. While it is a great source of moisture for dry and dehydrated skins, oily and combination skins can also benefit from this ingredient without weighing down the skin thanks to its light structure. It also offers a soothing moisturizing experience for skins that show a tendency toward sensitivity.
Points to Consider
Although squalene is an extremely gentle and well-tolerated ingredient, it is recommended to perform a small patch test on the inside of the wrist before including a new cosmetic product in the routine. Storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight will help the product maintain its form and stability.
