Medik8 Mutiny®

Squalane is almost chemically identical to squalene, a molecule which makes up about 12% of our sebum. It works as a protective, moisturising barrier over the skin to lock in hydration. The difference between squalene and squalane is reactivity; squalene has reactive double bonds which in skincare can oxidise, block pores and cause blemishes. Squalane, however, is entirely unreactive on the skin and non-comedogenic. It is able to penetrate into the natural lipids of the skin, absorbing effortlessly and replenishing the skin’s natural barrier. The result; visibly soft, supple and smooth skin.’
