What is squalane?

Squalane is a clear, lightweight oil closely related to squalene, a lipid your skin makes naturally and a component of human sebum. Squalene breaks down quickly when it meets air, so cosmetic squalane is the stable, hydrogenated form. Mine is derived from olives.

Why I chose squalane for silver hair

I wanted an oil that wouldn’t stain white and gray hair, and squalane is clear. It sinks in without a heavy film, so I use it in place of silicone-based serums to smooth flyaways and frizz. It softens hair, helps reduce breakage from brushing and styling, and replenishes moisture. It’s also a much lighter alternative to coconut oil, and it mixes well with QuickSilverHair Clay for the clarifying mask. Learn more: Everything You Need to Know About Squalane Oil

Questions About Squalane Oil

Will squalane stain my silver or white hair?
No. Squalane is clear and colorless, so it won’t add color to silver, white, or gray hair. Use a small amount, because too much may feel greasy.

Does squalane come from sharks?
Squalene has historically been taken from shark liver, and some products still use it. QuickSilverHair Squalane is derived from olives, and my products are cruelty free.

What is the difference between squalene and squalane?
Squalene is the lipid found in your skin’s sebum and in many plants and animals. It oxidizes easily. Squalane is the stable, hydrogenated version used in cosmetics. Either one can come from plant or animal sources, which is why the source matters.

Is squalane safe for skin and hair?
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel, an independent group of scientists, concluded that squalane and squalene are safe as cosmetic ingredients as currently used. As with any new product, test a small patch of skin for 24 hours first.

What is the difference between Squalane Oil and Scalp Oil?
Scalp Oil is my squalane oil with rosemary oil added, made for scalp massage. Squalane Oil is the everyday version for hair and face (you can still use it for scalp massage if you don’t want the added rosemary oil).

*A Few Friendly Reminders Before You Use

• I formulate with love, but every head of hair is different, so your results may vary. Read my Friendly Terms here.
• These are cosmetic products, made to care for your hair and skin. They aren’t meant to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
• Patch test first, please. If you have known allergies or sensitivities, test products on a small patch of skin for 24 hours before using more generously, discontinue using the product if irritation occurs.
• Clay works on buildup. Yellowing from product or mineral buildup usually responds well, but heat or UV damage won’t reverse. The clay is for skin and hair only, not for ingestion.
• Worried about hair loss? Please check in with your primary care provider, since there can be an underlying cause. My Hair Loss Ultimate Guide has information and support.
• Store it somewhere cool, out of direct sunlight.
• California Proposition 65 Warning: Consuming kaolin clay can expose you to lead, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/food.
