Stéphanie Soule, Scientific Communication Manager at Typology, shares her opinion.

"Squalane is a active emollient. It not only softens the touch of formulas but also brings benefits to the skin and hair. Being one of the main components of sebum that makes up the hydrolipidic film, it is perfectly tolerated by the skin and strengthens its barrier function. It thus fights against dehydration. Moreover, it is also recommended to maintain the hydration of the hair fiber or to protect the hair when using heating devices (straightening iron, hair dryer) thanks to its thermo-protective properties. Originally, squalane was extracted from the livers of sharks. This extraction process is increasingly regulated but unfortunately a large proportion of this active ingredient on the international market is still of animal origin. At Typology, we only use plant-based squalane, either derived from the unsaponifiable fraction of olive oil or extracted from sugarcane."

Your opinions on our squalane treatments.

We have formulated several skincare products using this lipophilic hydrocarbon known for its moisturizing and softening properties. Here are some reviews from our users regarding these products.

Natalia D. (11/19/2020) :"Excellent solution for acne-prone skin.The texture is very light. The product does not clog pores. Not comedogenic at all."

Michelle A. (10/10/2020):"Perfect complexion without a mask effect. Matches my skin tone. No need for a lot of product. With 3 drops and a brush, I apply my serum. Feels light. No clumping/mask effect. My skin can breathe. A very good alternative to foundation. For my part, I alternate with my usual organic BB cream."

Gaelle A. (12/10/2020): "Perfect for those who want a light finish and to see their skin in transparency, yet the complexion is well unified and luminous. The finish is very natural and the color blends well with the skin. Moreover, I have small patches of dryness that tend to be accentuated with complexion products, which is not the case here. To date, this is the best product in the tinted cream/serum category that I have tested."

Gaelle C. (10/06/2021):"Extremely hydrating cream. The skin is once again more supple."

Lena M. (07/17/2020): "Its fragrance reminds me of almond! I've been using it for barely 10 days and I already see a significant difference in my skin's hydration. It's softer, and truly nourished! I love it!"

Ingrid C. (07/25/2020):"A fluid cream that's easy to apply. Flawless skin all day. I highly recommend."

Your opinions on our hair care products.

When applied to hair, squalane forms a protective film on the hair's surface to shield it from dehydration. It also possesses smoothing and coating properties, and aids in repairing the hair fiber. The result is shinier and smoother hair. Squalane has a strong affinity with the scalp, restoring its hydrolipidic film and providing comfort while preserving its hydration, without making it greasy. Due to these virtues, squalane is included in our nourishing shampoo as well as in our two hair oils.
