Experience lightweight, effective hydration with our squalane skincare collection at Amelia Nour. Squalane is a remarkable ingredient that mimics the skin's own natural oils, delivering deep moisture without heaviness, greasiness, or clogged pores.
Squalane is derived from squalene, a lipid naturally produced by the skin that helps maintain moisture and protect against environmental damage. As we age, natural squalene production declines, contributing to dryness and loss of suppleness. Replenishing it with squalane-based skincare helps restore optimal hydration levels.
What makes squalane special is its universal compatibility. Unlike many oils that can feel heavy or cause breakouts, squalane has a lightweight, silky texture that absorbs quickly and suits every skin type — including oily and acne-prone skin. It is non-comedogenic, non-irritating, and works well alongside other active ingredients.
Our collection features squalane in various product formats. Pure squalane oils provide versatile hydration that can be mixed with other products or applied alone. Squalane-enriched moisturisers deliver daily hydration with the added benefits of complementary ingredients. Squalane cleansers gently dissolve makeup and impurities without stripping the skin.
Squalane also has antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from environmental damage and premature ageing. Its ability to reinforce the skin barrier makes it an excellent choice for anyone dealing with dehydration, sensitivity, or compromised skin.

Squalane provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and offers antioxidant protection. It suits all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, and helps maintain soft, supple, well-moisturised skin.
Is squalane suitable for oily skin?
Yes, squalane is ideal for oily skin. Despite being an oil, it is lightweight, non-comedogenic, and quickly absorbed. It helps regulate oil production by providing the hydration that oily skin often lacks.
What is the difference between squalane and squalene?
Squalene is the natural lipid produced by the skin. Squalane is its hydrogenated, stabilised form used in skincare. Squalane is more shelf-stable and less prone to oxidation, making it more practical for cosmetic formulations.
Can I use squalane with other active ingredients?
Absolutely. Squalane pairs well with virtually all skincare ingredients including retinol, vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid. It can help buffer potentially irritating actives while providing additional hydration.
How do I use squalane oil?
Apply a few drops of squalane oil as the last step of your skincare routine to seal in moisture. It can also be mixed into your moisturiser, used as a makeup primer, or applied to damp skin after cleansing for enhanced absorption.
