In recent years, squalane has emerged as a major active ingredient in skincare products due to the emollient and moisturizing qualities that it offers. This is due to the fact that squalane possesses both of these properties. You should consider using this product if you have acne-prone skin that also tends to be oily because it has an extremely light texture, and the way it feels on the face makes it an excellent choice. Did you know that hemi-squalane, another active component, has a similar effect but leaves the skin feeling even less weighted down?
Hemi-Squalane: what exactly is it?
One possible way to think of hemi-squalane is as squalane’s cousin or another close relative. It is said that the molecule of squalane includes 30 carbons, while the molecule of hemi-squalane contains only 15 carbons, despite the fact that the chemical properties of squalane and hemi-squalane are equivalent.
Before deciding which of the two is lighter, you need to get a taste of hemi-squalane first. Squalane is the heavier of the two. When applied to the skin, hemisqualane gives the appearance of not having any weight to it at all. This is due to the fact that it has the consistency of dry oil and is just slightly thicker than water.
In addition to possessing moisturizing and hydrating properties that are equivalent to those of squalane, hemi-squalane imparts a finish that is not as dewy and is noticeably lighter than that of squalane.
What are the Benefits of Hemi-Squalane?
Moisturizing Properties
Hemi-squalane is good for the skin because it reduces the amount of water that is lost through the epidermis, it makes the skin more hydrated, and prevents moisture loss. When used on a consistent basis, it helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
Light weight texture
People who have oily skin will benefit greatly from using hemi-squalane as a replacement for other products due to its lack of greasiness and its light weight.
Non-Comedogenic
Hemisqualane is an excellent option for people who have oily skin and are prone to acne since it does not cause pores to become blocked, and it does not make acne outbreaks worse.
Emollient Characteristics
In addition to making the skin’s surface feel softer and smoother, it makes the skin appear more hydrated and gives it a more plump, supple appearance.
Recommended for All Skin Types
Because it helps prevent dryness, hemi-squalane and squalane are ideal for those with dry, sensitive, reactive, or aging skin. These skin types are more likely to experience dryness. Although this oil is good for people with any skin type, those who have dry skin would benefit the most from using it.
