The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane – The Ultimate Skin Barrier Repair Oil for Radiant Hydration

Restore your skin’s natural glow with the pure, lightweight power of **The Ordinary Squalane**. Designed for those who seek high-performance results without complex fillers, this 100% Plant-Derived Squalane offers a sophisticated approach to hydration that mimics your skin’s biological makeup. Whether you are battling seasonal dryness or looking to fortify a sensitive complexion, this multi-tasking oil is an essential cornerstone of any effective skincare regimen.

Key Benefits of 100% Plant-Derived Squalane

Superior Bio-Compatibility:** Squalane is a saturated, stable hydrocarbon that is naturally found in human sebum. Because it mimics your skin’s natural oils, it is absorbed instantly to provide deep nourishment without a greasy residue.

Intense Barrier Support:** As a dedicated **skin barrier repair oil**, it creates a breathable protective layer that prevents transepidermal water loss, keeping your skin plump and resilient against environmental stressors.

Non-Comedogenic Hydration:** Unlike many heavy oils, this is a strictly **non-comedogenic facial oil**, making it safe for all skin types—including those prone to congestion or breakouts.

Sustainable & Ethical:** While traditional squalane was often sourced from shark liver, **The Ordinary skincare** utilizes a 100% **plant-based squalane** derived from sugarcane, ensuring a cruelty-free and environmentally conscious product.

Versatile Beauty Solution:** Beyond the face, this oil works wonders as a heat protectant for hair, adding shine and reducing breakage, or as a soothing treatment for dry patches on the body.

How It Works

The secret to this **hydrating face serum** lies in its purity. Squalane is the hydrogenated version of squalene; while squalene is unstable and oxidizes quickly, squalane is shelf-stable and highly effective at emollient hydration. By integrating this into your routine, you are providing your skin with the lipids it needs to maintain a soft, flexible texture. It effectively "fills the gaps" between skin cells, smoothing out fine lines caused by dehydration.

Who It’s For

This **facial oil for dry skin** is a must-have for individuals with dehydrated, flaky, or sensitive complexions. Because it is free from water, alcohol, silicone, and allergens, it is the ideal choice for skincare enthusiasts who prioritize ingredient purity and clinical-grade results at an accessible entry point.

Professional Usage Tips

For optimal results, apply a few drops of **The Ordinary Squalane** daily to the entire face. In a standard skincare routine, this should be applied after your water-based treatments (like Hyaluronic Acid) but before heavier creams.

For Face:** Apply to damp skin to lock in maximum moisture.

For Hair:** Work a small amount through damp, clean hair to enhance shine and manageability.

Customization:** Mix a drop into your favorite foundation for a dewy, luminous finish that lasts all day.

Experience the transformative power of "oil-based nourishment" and give your skin the pure hydration it deserves.
