Squalane

What it is

Squalane is a lightweight, skin-compatible oil derived from plant sources such as olives or sugarcane. It closely mimics the skin’s natural lipids, making it highly effective for hydration and barrier support.

Why we use it

At Thorn + Thera, squalane is selected for its ability to deeply hydrate without feeling heavy. It helps support the skin barrier while maintaining a lightweight, fast-absorbing finish.
