benefits
sugarcane squalane naturally occurs in the lipids of our skin. Silky and non-greasy, our bio-based Squalane helps restore skin hydration and can even restore hair from feeling dry. Squalane is stable to heat, cold and oxidation, and is known to be non-comedogenic. Squalane should be made with science, not shark liver oil. Through a process called fermentation, yeast are genetically engineered to produce the building blocks of squalane by being fed non-GMO sugarcane that is located right next to the manufacturing facility. It is isolated and undergoes further reaction and purification, being saturated with hydrogen and carbon molecules, to become squalane.

Always store bottle upright and roll in between hands for a minute before application to make sure colour is evenly dispersed. A little goes a long way. Once you have moisturized skin with coconut cream, raspberry elixir, or 50 fruit + flowers elixir, apply this serum sparingly and build where more coverage is needed. This pairs well withmy concealing hdd and shilajit bio-foundation. I have found that the product applies best when warmed up with my fingers and gently blended into skin. A brush like smooth things over would also work well.
