Squalane Benefits: What Does Squalane Do for Skin?
Caring for SkinJan 9, 2020

Squalane Benefits: What Does Squalane Do for Skin?

We’re longtime advocates for minimal skincare formulas made without filler ingredients that can irritate skin and crowd out actives. With that in mind, we focus our rituals on traditionally Japanese, scientifically proven ingredients. The Serum Stick, for example, boasts 80 percent squalane that was purified in Japan without chemicals.

So, what is squalane, and how can it help you achieve smoother, suppler skin? We’re detailing its benefits in the bullet points below, so the information’s easy to absorb (much like...well, squalane).

Squalane...

  • Improves the skin barrier function, locking in moisture and minimizing dryness
  • Calms itchy or chapped skin and softens the complexion
  • Absorbs into skin readily without clogging pores or leaving a greasy finish
  • Delivers a hydrated, plump look in tandem with hyaluronic acid
  • Keeps makeup from looking dry or cakey and intensifies radiance
  • Offers benefits both instantly and over time

Because of its myriad benefits, squalane comes in many products and formats, but we’re partial to our own. Our formulas contain large amounts of squalane, so the filler ingredients we mentioned above won’t limit its effects. Plus, our squalane comes from olives, so it’s gentle and nourishing for skin. Best of all, our stick format makes it easy to apply and reapply squalane throughout the day around the eyes, laugh lines, or dry spots—so anyone can have a moment of mindful beauty, anywhere.

Wishing you moisturized skin,

The Tatcha Family

The Best Foaming Facial Cleanser

The Best Foaming Facial Cleanser

Foaming cleansers can be effective for all, but the secret to using them correctly is discovering a formula that is ideal for your skin type. A creamy foaming cleanser, which imparts a soft hydration onto the skin as cleansing, is more ideal for dry skin, while a refreshing foaming cleanser that includes oil-balancing ingredients is more ideal for combination and oily skin tones. Some formulas work by allowing the dense bubbles to grasp onto debris, sebum, and makeup, washing away in a single step. While other formulas might need an oil cleanser first to break down these trickier long-lasting ingredients.
