Picking up from my last post here are some brands championing squalane.
@haba_sg HABA TOKYO – This is the brand that first bought the ingredient to my attention in 2009 when a friend swore how amazing it was for dry skin. It’s also very fitting that one of the first brands to bring Squalane to the market is a Japanese brand since it was discovered by Matsumara Tsujimoto 1906 (an expert in oils and fats at the Tokyo Industrial Station). I instantly understood why she was raving about it, it was so lightweight and absorbed into the skin very easily without a greasy feeling or residue. She then told me it was from shark liver oil. So that was the end of that. (They have since moved into plant squalane too).
Then came @indie_lee Indiee Lees Squalane oil, I think I may have tried a sample of this in the past but not long enough to see if it was worthwhile to incorporate into my skin or hair routine. I really need to try more from this brand.
Fast forward a few years and @biossance – 100% plant-based Squalane skincare line from a prominent manufacturer of sustainable Squalane which has been a huge hit on IG (I tried a sample back in 2017 but again this brand isn’t easily accessible outside of the USA and one I would love to try more of).
& recently @deciem The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser (I haven’t tried this as yet), Squalane masque and Squalane oil. Love to hear thoughts if you have any?
Notable mentions: @peterthomasrothofficial .
Is there any Squalane product you recommend trying?
