Squalane vs Squalene

Squalane vs Squalene

What's the difference between squalAne and squalEne?

SqualEne is very unstable, comedogenic for some skin types, and will go bad quite quickly.

SqualAne is when squalEne goes through hydrogenation processing. This means it turns the squalene from an unsaturated oil into a
100% saturated oil.

 

squalAne

  • Stable
  • Non-comedogenic
  • Not an anti-oxidant
  • Suitable for all skin types

squalEne

  • Unstable 
  • Anti-Oxidant
  • Highly comedogenic
  • Oxidises Easily

 

SqualAne can be found in Dream Capsule!

 

A key ingredient in this overnight miracle, it is the more stable form of squalene. It is 100% plant derived.

This is especially beneficial for people whose skin barrier has been disrupted and have problems retaining moisture in their skin – such as people who have eczema conditions.
