민감성 피부를 가진 경우 자극을 유발할 수 있으니 주의가 필요합니다. Squalane is considered safe for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It is non-irritating, non-toxic, and non-comedogenic. It does not clog pores or cause acne, making it suitable for oily and combination skin as well. It is well-tolerated and has a low risk of allergic reactions.

보습 효과가 뛰어난 성분으로, 피부의 수분을 유지하고 탄력을 개선하는 데 사용됩니다. 자연적으로 피부에서 발견되며, 항산화 기능도 갖추고 있습니다. Squalane is a stable, saturated hydrocarbon derived by hydrogenating squalene, a lipid naturally found in human sebum. Its biomimetic nature means it has a strong affinity with human skin lipids and can easily penetrate the skin without clogging pores (non-comedogenic). It acts as an emollient to soften and smooth the skin, restore the lipid barrier, protect against dehydration, and promote skin barrier function. Its antioxidant properties contribute to protection against oxidative stress, which supports anti-aging effects.
