SQUALANE⁺ Face Oil (Pure)

SQUALANE+ is our take on a modern skincare essential—made with ultra-lightweight, plant-based squalane that’s perfectly suited for our humid, tropical climate. Unlike heavier formulations created for colder, drier environments, SQUALANE+ absorbs quickly, hydrates deeply, and leaves no greasy residue. It supports your skin barrier, softens texture, and restores balance—without clogging pores.

What makes it truly special is its versatility and simplicity: suitable for all skin types, even sensitive or acne-prone skin, and effective enough to be your one-and-done hydrator or a booster to your existing routine. It’s skincare that makes sense—gentle, effective, and made for real skin in real climates.

➊ Start with a clean face — cleanse and pat dry.

➋ Apply toner to prep your skin and enhance absorption.

➌ (Optional) Apply your favorite serum and/or moisturizer, depending on your routine and skin needs.

➍ Dispense 2–3 pumps of SQUALANE+ and gently massage into the skin using upward strokes, focusing on areas prone to fine lines, dryness, or uneven texture.

➎ Allow 1–2 minutes for the oil to fully absorb.

➏ Follow with sunscreen if used in the morning.

Note - SQUALANE+ is safe and beneficial for both day and night use. We recommend using it in the morning to help create a protective barrier that locks in moisture throughout the day, and again at night to support your skin’s natural repair process.

Our SQUALANE+ is made using high-purity, plant-derived squalane that’s carefully selected for its ultra-light texture and fast absorption—making it especially suitable for humid, tropical climates like ours. Some squalane products on the market are thicker or feel greasy because they’re blended with heavier oils or designed for colder, drier environments.

Yes, you can. SQUALANE+ acts as a semi-moisturizer—an emollient that helps seal in hydration and support your skin barrier. In humid climates like ours, where the skin tends to lose less moisture, this may be enough to keep your skin feeling soft, nourished, and balanced—without the heaviness of traditional creams.

That said, everyone’s skin is different. If your skin feels comfortable after using SQUALANE+ alone, you may not need anything more. But if you have dry skin, spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments, or use drying actives (like exfoliants or retinoids), we recommend applying a hydrating serum or lightweight moisturizer first—then using SQUALANE+ to lock everything in.

So to answer your question — most oils aren’t actually bad for your skin. But many oils can clog your pores, especially if they’re too heavy or not suited for your skin type.

There are two main types of oils to know about:

Comedogenic oils are more likely to clog pores. They tend to sit on the skin, trap dirt and sebum, and can lead to blackheads or breakouts—especially in oily or acne-prone skin. Examples include coconut oil, wheat germ oil, and unrefined olive oil.

Non-comedogenic oils are the friendly, skin-compatible ones. They hydrate, nourish, and absorb well without blocking your pores. These include oils like squalane, grapeseed oil, hemp seed oil, and jojoba oil.

Note - Coconut oil is a great moisturizer and has antibacterial properties, so it can be wonderful for dry body skin. But on the face, especially in humid climates or acne-prone skin, it can clog pores—because it’s highly comedogenic. It’s sometimes not about “good or bad,” but about using the right oil in the right place.

We recommend using SQUALANE+ or any face oil you have towards the end of your regime, but before application of sun protection.

Example - Cleanse > Tone > Moisturize > Face Oil > Sun Block.

SQUALANE+ Pure is our most minimal, scent-free formula—made with only lightweight, non-comedogenic oils and vitamin E. It’s perfect for sensitive skin or anyone who prefers a clean, fragrance-free option that hydrates, softens, and strengthens the skin barrier.

The other SQUALANE+ variants build on that same base, but each includes targeted essential oils or actives for added benefits:

1. SQUALANE+ Frankincense - Includes 1% frankincense oil, known for its calming, firming, and anti-inflammatory properties—ideal for stressed, mature, or irritated skin.
2. SQUALANE+ Rose - Infused with 1% rose essential oil to help soothe, brighten, and promote skin radiance—great for dry, tired, or dull skin.
3. SQUALANE+ Bakuchiol - A more active blend with 0.5% bakuchiol, 0.5% frankincense oil, and 0.5% vitamin E—designed to support collagen, improve skin texture, and gently target signs of aging. It’s a plant-based alternative to retinol, but gentler and safe for sensitive skin.
