Squalane is a hero ingredient in Saint Louve’s 15% Vitamin C Lustrum Serum, it's a botanical plant extract that is very similar to the skin lipids structure that depletes with age.

Squalane is more lightweight than the skins natural lipid squalene, and easily absorbs without leaving a greasy residue. Not to mention its an effective emollient.

Th purpose of formulating with Squalane is to help protect skin’s barrier and seal in moisture for softer, smoother skin.

Isn't it derived from sharks?

Squalene is also found in high amounts in shark livers, which is traditionally where we got squalene (and squalane) from BUT it is also found in plants.

When applied topically, squalane has amazing hydrating and moisturising benefits, it's a highly effective emollient and natural antioxidant. It locks moisture into your skin, help prevent fine lines, and eases dry patches.

It’s the “saint” of hydration

Topical squalane in skincare can reduce wrinkles, eliminate scars, reverse UV damage, lighten freckles and erase skin pigmentation, all while fighting free radicals.
