What Nykaa E retail limited Says
Product Description:
Squalane, with its skin-like molecular structure, penetrates deep into pores, targeting skincare concerns at a cellular level. It harmonizes oil production, maintaining clear and healthy skin, and its robust anti-aging properties promote graceful aging. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory benefits make it effective for conditions like acne and eczema. As an exceptional hydrator, squalane prevents ongoing moisture loss, preserving skin suppleness. It's non-comedogenic, suitable even for extremely oily skin, and doubles as a hair protector, adding shine and reducing breakage potential. Additionally, it boosts blood circulation, stimulating collagen production for firmer, plumper skin and an instant radiant glow. Indulgeo Essentials offers custom blends to address focused skin concerns to provide tailored skincare solutions for diverse skin types.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Squalene constitutes approximately 12-15% of human sebum โ the highest proportion of any skin lipid. topical squalane (stable, hydrogenated form) replenishes this abundant endogenous skin lipid. the complete absence of oxidizable double bonds (unlike squalene's 6 double bonds) eliminates the pro-oxidant concerns of natural squalene oxidation.
