squalane
Squalane can be derived from multiple sources. Previously this ingredient was derived from animals and came largely from the liver of sharks. It largely comes from the sugarcane fermentation. Squalane is a natural substance that is produced in our bodies, but decreases with age. It hydrates and heals the skin and hair – replenishing all that the surface lacks.
