Hemi-squalane is about to be in all your favourite skin and hair products. Here’s everything you need to know.
popped off and is now a regular in our skin stash, hemi-squalane is an ingredient you’re gonna want to know about., the ingredient’s big sister has been gaining momentum in skincare conversations thanks to its ability to deeply hydrate skin and protect skin barriers. Hemi-squalane is the next step on.
It already has a big seal of approval from The Ordinary – a brand that’s been instrumental in introducing many of us to the buzziest insider skincare ingredients. The brand was one of the first to bring hemi-squalane to the mainstream a couple of years ago with the 100% Plant Derived Hemi-Squalane serum. Now we’re spotting it in more of our fave fixes.
Falling under the category of hydrators and oils, the ingredient provides hydration and slip in much the same way that silicones can. Silicones have picked up a bit of an iffy reputation thanks to the build-up they can create on hair and in pores, and due to the fact it’s synthetic. Hemi-squalane offers a lightweight, natural alternative.
Which brings us to hemi-squalane. “Hemi-squalane is half the molecular weight of squalane hence the ‘hemi’' in the name,” says McKenzie, which means it’s thinner and more lightweight, however it can offer up the same healthy hydration benefits.“In haircare hemi-squalane is the ultimate moisturising and repairing ingredient. It has been clinically tested to improve hair health instantly and over time.
