Hemisqualane, 30ml

Hemisqualane is a highly pure, fermentation-derived emollient from renewable resources. It is used in cosmetics to improve texture, reduce oiliness, and as a silicone substitute.

Hemisqualane is produced from sugarcane through biotechnological fermentation. The result is a highly pure, stable hydrocarbon of plant origin.

It is a sustainable raw material obtained from renewable sources. It is biodegradable and exhibits high stability against oxidation.

Hemisqualane is a very light, clear liquid of plant origin. It is produced from sugar cane through fermentation, making it a modern, renewable raw material.

If you can't imagine anything under that, try this:

It is a very light “dry oil” that behaves completely differently on the skin than classic vegetable oils.
It does not remain greasy, absorbs quickly and leaves the skin soft to the touch.

What is the difference compared to regular oils?

Common oils:

• they are thicker, take longer to absorb, can leave a greasy film

Hemisqualane:

• it is much lighter, absorbs quickly, leaves a soft, dry feeling, does not weigh down the skin or hair

That's why it's often used instead of silicones – but unlike them, it's of plant origin.

Who is it suitable for?

• for those who don't like the greasy feeling on their skin

• for light summer creams

• for hair serums without weight

• for minimalist oil serum

In short:
Hemisqualane will give the product lightness and an elegant finish, while classic squalane or oils will add more nourishment and density.

A modern plant-based emollient is added to the range, taking the formulation of natural cosmetics one step further. Hemisqualane is an ultra-light alternative to classic oils and silicones – ideal for those who want a velvety feel without greasiness.

But be careful, squalene is not the same as squalene:

How is it different from olive squalane?

The two raw materials are related, but their properties are different:

Olive squalane

• thicker, oilier texture, slower absorption, more nourishing feeling, suitable for drier skin

Hemisqualane

• significantly lighter consistency, very fast absorption, dry, non-greasy finish, ideal for light creams, serums and hair products

Olive Squalane will provide nourishment and softness.
Hemisqualane will provide lightness and a “dry” elegant feel.
