In our opinion, squalane oil is a great ingredient for skincare because our skin produces it naturally, and using a bioidentical version, like the one derived from sugar, is even better. It's a clean, natural ingredient that is excellent for moisturizing and making the skin look radiant. Additionally, traditional sources of squalane, like shark liver oil, are not only environmentally unsustainable, but they can also be contaminated with heavy metals and other toxins. Squalane from sugar, on the other hand, is a sustainable and safe alternative that provides all the same benefits without the negative environmental impact.
Skin-Mimicking Lipid for Dry and Mature Skin
Sugar squalane oil is a lipid oil that effectively rejuvenates skin, bringing it back to a more youthful and healthy state. It mimics the way our skin produces oil, increasing elasticity and boosting cell regeneration. This antioxidant fights free radicals and is antibacterial, making it effective for treating acne or eczema-prone skin. It's anti-inflammatory, hydrating, anti-aging, and boosts collagen production. Squalane is produced by human skin cells, and production declines with age, making the skin drier and rougher. We love that our Sugar Squalane Oil is a lipid that mimics our skin's way of producing oil, effectively increasing elasticity and boosting cell regeneration.
Kossma Beauty’s Sugar Squalane Oil is A Lipid and not a Fruit Oil
Kossma's sugar squalane oil is extracted from sugarcane and is highly refined, making it a non-comedogenic lipid compound suitable for many skin concerns. Squalane can also be extracted from olive oil, rice, palm oil, or beets, but we prefer extracting it from sugarcane as an environmentally-friendly and renewable resource from sustainable sugarcane farms in Brazil, and doesn’t have to use pesticides and comes to us at 98% purity.
