Squalan

Squalene, a fat-soluble anti-oxidant that is naturally produced during cholesterol synthesis and occurs in the skin, is the main ingredient of the products at Squalan. This oily substance is produced by people, animals and plants themselves and the first organisms on earth consisted for a large part of squalene. Like similarly structured molecules such as Vitamin E, squalene can help protect against environmental stressors. At birth the percentage squalene in our skin is high, but at around the age of thirty we produce so little of it that the skin aging process begins.

Squalan, founded by two passionate experiential experts, is the result of a long search and works soothing, calming and restorative. Monique Hugen and Leslie van der Meijden, who both suffered from skin irritation and sensitive skin, studied the origin and benefits of squalene. People with very different skin types respond very well to the oil: dry skin is less dry, oily skin becomes less greasy, eczema disappears and beautiful skin gets a radiant, youthful appearance. After extensive testing and research, they decided to develop a cosmetic line based on this special oil. Cosmetic products with squalane as the main ingredient and only ingredients that really add something and not just serve as a filler (squalene isn't stable enough for use in products intended to be kept on the shelves for some time, like skin care products. Squalane is derived from squalene, and is the more stable form of this molecule, as well as being colorless and odorless). In addition, Monique and Leslie want to be open and honest about the ingredients used and describe them extensively on their website.

Squalan opts for honest and natural ingredients , all of which strengthen and support the function of your skin. Squalan believes in the concept of less ingredients is better. It is the answer for anyone who is looking for a safe, reliable and 100% natural skincare. Some other cosmetics products that contain squalene, use squalene extracted from the livers of sharks, but at Squalan the squalene in the products is 100% made from sugarcane approved by ECOCERT. Squalan gives elasticity and suppleness to the skin, reduces age spots, is particularly moisturizing and penetrates deep into the skin. It makes the skin soft and smooth without leaving a greasy layer. In addition, it works soothing for skin problems such as eczema and rosacea. The damaged skin is restored and the natural elasticity is maintained. The products are 100% plant-based, contain no parabens and alcohol, are not tested on animals, are vegan and are produced sustainably.
