Is Squalane Your Dry Skin Saviour

If you’re looking for a powerhouse ingredient to deliver hydration, moisture, and comfort to your dry, winter-worn skin, then Squalane is your answer. This nourishing oil will replenish, balance, and strengthen your skin for a healthy, bouncy, youthful glow.

Katherine Daniels, Co-Founder of Donna Tait says:

Squalane is a natural oil/lipid (usually derived from olives), rich in Vitamin E, Essential Fatty Acids and light hydrators. This plant-based oil has the closest resemblance to our skin’s sebum, which means it works wonderfully with almost all skin types or conditions - dry, sensitive, irritated, ageing, and oily.

Squalane provides an instant hit of mega moisture to soften, hydrate and replenish dry and dehydrated skin. This hero ingredient also replenishes and maintains the moisture/lipid balance of our skin, which is essential for strengthening our skin’s barrier function. This fortified barrier function works to lock in moisture, protect against environmental aggressors and prevent premature ageing.

Incorporate these Squalane-rich winter skin saviours into your skin and body care regimes to defeat dryness once and for all…
