SQUALANE
Also known as: Neossance Squalane
CAS Number: 111-01-3
Key Benefits
Plant-derived emollient — mimics skin sebum, non-comedogenic, barrier repair
How It Works
Hydrogenated form of squalene (from sugarcane via Neossance). Biomimetic lipid identical to the squalene component of human sebum (approximately 12% of sebum composition). Non-comedogenic despite being an oil. Fills intercellular spaces in the stratum corneum.
Why BP Derma Uses It
Neossance Squalane is the premium standard for biomimetic emolliency. Derived from sugarcane (not shark liver), it is 100% sustainable and structurally identical to the squalene in human skin, making it completely non-comedogenic and barrier-restorative.
