Simply Squalane Face Oil
Squalane is one of the few skincare ingredients that works for every skin type without exception - oily, dry, dehydrated, sensitive and combination.
It's a lightweight, stable lipid that mimics the squalene your skin produces naturally. The same molecule that keeps young skin visibly soft and hydrated. As we age, natural squalene production drops. Squalane replaces what's lost.
Simply Squalane uses 100% pure olive-derived squalane. Not sugarcane-derived - olive squalane has a longer chain fatty acid structure that more closely mimics human skin lipids. Nothing else added. No fragrance. No fillers. No actives.
It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue - visibly softening and smoothing skin texture from the first use.
Apply it as the finishing step in your routine on slightly damp skin, or mix a drop into any of your current skincare products as a hydration booster. It visibly smooths the skin surface without heaviness or shine.
Pairs with the Clearing Rescue Serum - apply the serum first, squalane last to seal everything in. Or layer over Dream Cream as the final barrier step.
Available in a 15ml roller for precision application or a 30ml glass dropper for daily use.
For oily and acne-prone skin: 2–3 drops at night only. Non-comedogenic and will not visibly block pores or contribute to the appearance of congestion. Oily skin is often lipid-deficient, not oil-overloaded so squalane helps restore what's missing without adding heaviness.
For dry and dehydrated skin: Morning and night. Apply after your water-based serum while skin is still slightly damp. Skin appears visibly more supple and plump with consistent use.
For sensitive and reactive skin: One ingredient. No fragrance. No known irritants. The most straightforward face oil in our range.
New to face oils: Start here. Squalane does one job and does it exceptionally well.
Apply on damp skin as the last step in your skincare routine (but before sunscreen in the AM).

About Squalane
Yes, squalane is compatible with every skincare ingredient. Apply it last in your routine after water-based serums and moisturisers, or mix a drop or two easily into any product as a hydration booster. It pairs particularly well with the Clearing Rescue Serum and Dream Cream.
Both are stable and effective. Olive-derived squalane has a longer chain fatty acid structure that more closely mimics human skin lipids. Simply Squalane uses 100% olive-derived squalane.
Squalane is a stable, lightweight lipid derived from olive that mimics the squalene your skin produces naturally. It helps skin appear visibly more hydrated, soft and smooth without leaving a greasy residue. It's non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone.
Squalene is the molecule your skin produces naturally. Squalane is the hydrogenated, stabilised form that can be used in skincare without oxidising or going rancid. Simply Squalane uses 100% olive-derived squalane.
Yes. Squalane is non-comedogenic - it will not visibly block pores or contribute to the appearance of congestion. Oily skin is often lacking in lipids rather than overproducing them. Adding the right lightweight lipid back can help skin appear more balanced over time.
Yes. Applied to slightly damp skin after a water-based serum, squalane helps seal in moisture and supports a visibly more hydrated, supple appearance. For very dry skin, use morning and night.
