At Fraela, we love active ingredients that are gentle, natural, and incredibly effective.
One of our favorite ingredients is olive squalane – a treasure that changes the way your skin perceives hydration and protection.
What is olive squalane?
Squalane is a stabilized form of squalene – a substance naturally present in the dermal film of human skin. Our squalane is derived from olive oil , making it a purely plant-based, vegan and sustainable alternative.
👉 Squalane is extremely compatible with our skin because it mimics its own lipids. The result? The skin absorbs it immediately , without feeling greasy or heavy.
Why is olive squalane so special?
✅ Deep hydration: Squalane penetrates deep into the skin, where it helps lock in moisture.
✅ Skin barrier restoration: Strengthens the natural protective layer of the skin and lips.
✅ Exceptional softness: Instantly softens and smoothes the skin's surface.
✅ Antioxidant effect: Helps neutralize free radicals and slows down premature aging.
✅ Light, non-greasy texture: Also suitable for sensitive, combination or oily skin.
Clinical studies on the effectiveness of squalane
Research shows that regular use of squalane:
-
Increases skin hydration by more than 50% after 28 days.
-
Significantly reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby preventing dryness.
-
It improves skin elasticity and reduces roughness after just a few applications.
