What Makes Plant Squalane Special

It locks in moisture and keeps your skin soft all day. Because it absorbs fast, it won’t leave shine or residue. Every skin type, even oily or sensitive, can use it comfortably.

Plant squalane also helps your skin stay strong against wind, cold, and pollution. It supports your skin’s natural barrier so it looks smoother, calmer, and more balanced.

In short:

• Deep moisture, no grease

• Shields against dryness and stress

• Strengthens the skin barrier

• Safe for all skin types

• Blends easily with other products

What is Plant Squalane?

Your skin naturally makes a lipid called squalene. It helps keep your skin flexible and soft. Over time, or with harsh weather, your body makes less of it.

Plant squalane is the stable, long-lasting form of this lipid. It’s made from renewable plants like olives or sugarcane instead of shark liver — an ethical, sustainable choice.

This ingredient feels like your own skin’s oils. It helps restore what’s been lost from age, cold, or over-cleansing. The result: smoother texture, less flaking, and fewer dry patches.

How to Use It

• After cleansing: Apply a few drops to damp skin to lock in moisture.

• With moisturizer: Mix it in for extra softness.

• Before sunscreen: It won’t affect protection.

• As makeup remover: Melts makeup while caring for your skin.

• For dry spots: Use on elbows, knees, or cuticles.

  
  

Use it daily. Over time, your skin feels smoother, stronger, and more comfortable in every season.

Why It Fits Holistic Skin Care

Plant squalane supports the skin instead of covering up its issues. It’s clean, simple, and backed by research. It’s non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, and suitable for sensitive or reactive skin.

Choosing plant squalane means supporting gentle, sustainable skincare that aligns with nature and community values — the foundation of Circé + Medée.

A Small Step Toward Balanced Skin

Healthy skin reflects whole-body wellness. Using plant squalane is an easy, caring habit that nurtures your skin every day. It’s one of those quiet, reliable ingredients that simply works — helping you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

In care,
