1. What does squalene do to your skin?
Squalene makes your skin barrier stronger, keeps moisture in, and stops water from leaving through the skin. It leaves a smooth, soft finish that doesn't feel greasy.
2. What does squalene do to your skin?
Yes, it helps calm flare-ups because it repairs the skin barrier and reduces inflammation. It makes skin less dry and itchy without bothering skin that is sensitive to eczema.

Both have a different purpose. Squalene moisturizes and fixes the barrier, while niacinamide makes the skin look brighter, clearer, and less pigmented.They work even better when they are together.

Yes, wet skin makes it easier to spread and helps it sink in faster. You also need less of the product to get the same amount of hydration.
7. Can squalene impact the way my microbiome works?

8. Which plant actives help the body absorb squalene better?
Don't use heavier oils like coconut, castor, or wheat germ. They can make greasy skin worse and go against squalene's light, balancing nature.
9. If I have oily skin, which plant oils should I avoid using with squalene?
Aloe vera, green tea polyphenols, and liquorice root help the skin absorb better by relaxing the top layer. This lets squalene get deeper into the skin.

Yes, in a way. It makes the environment healthier for healthy bacteria to grow by making the barrier stronger and keeping the right amount of water in the body.
