Takeaway
The cosmetic ingredient with the unusual name, squalane, certainly lives up to its reputation. It is well-tolerated and provides just about every skin type with nourishment and protection. It gives the skin a delicate, silky feel along with a natural glow. Even if squalane is not comedogenic, people with impure skin and acne should only use squalane as a component of creams or fluids. It is easy to add squalane to your skincare routine because it is well-tolerated with all active ingredients and can be simply slotted into your existing skincare routine.
