NAUTICA Sugar Squalane - 1KG

Features

Description

Squalane is a natural, high-quality moisturizer that is beneficial for skin, hair, and sun care products. It is a non-polar, fully saturated, and very stable hydrocarbon which also happens to be naturally present in the skin. Squalane is certified as a cosmetic grade product and is resistant to oxidation and stable to temperature variations.

It is derived from a 100% natural plant source, unlike other unsustainable alternatives such as shark liver oil, which has been linked to environmental damage. Squalane is non-comedogenic and has a consistently robust composition.

Nautica Sugar Squalane is a plant-derived emollient made from sustainably sourced sugarcane and valued for its silky, lightweight feel on the skin and hair.

It is one of those highly versatile cosmetic ingredients that can be used in facial oils, serums, creams, cleansers, makeup, baby care, sun care, and hair products where a smooth, non-greasy finish is wanted. Because it is highly stable and resistant to oxidation, it is especially useful in formulations that need a dependable, elegant oil phase ingredient.

It can be used at low percentages or on its own, depending on the product type and intended feel. Why we love it: Sugar squalane has that rare combination of simplicity and elegance. It feels light and silky, plays beautifully with other ingredients, and makes formulas feel more refined without adding heaviness.
