What Is Squalane?

Squalane is the lightweight hydrating oil that even oily skin loves. A stable, plant-derived version of squalene (a lipid your skin makes naturally), it hydrates, softens and locks in moisture while feeling remarkably weightless and never greasy. Because it mimics the skin's own oils, it's highly compatible with all skin types and rarely causes irritation or breakouts.

How to Use Squalane

Squalane works as a standalone facial oil - a few drops as the final step to seal in moisture - and also in cleansers and moisturisers. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is a cult balm-to-oil cleanser that melts away make-up while keeping skin hydrated. Squalane is a brilliant partner for stronger actives too, cushioning the skin and easing any dryness from retinol or acids.
