SQUALANE

Phaedra Botanicals uses squalane sourced from olive oil. In our formulas, it appears either as part of our Coenzyme Q10 blend or as a directly added ingredient selected for its lightweight emollient quality, skin compatibility, and strong oxidative stability.

Squalane and the Skin Barrier

The skin barrier relies on lipids to help maintain hydration and protect against environmental stressors.

When this barrier becomes compromised, the skin may feel dry, rough, or uncomfortable.

Benefits

Squalane helps support the skin’s surface lipid layer, making it useful in formulas created for dryness, dehydration, environmental stress, and barrier comfort.
