Olive-derived plant-based squalane: The secret ingredient in your GRAZZI Intense Moisturizing Lotion

At GRAZZI , we carefully select the finest natural active ingredients for your cosmetic care. Discover olive-derived squalane , the key ingredient in our Intense Moisturizing Body Lotion . A true concentrate of benefits, this exceptional emollient is renowned for its ability to nourish the skin without leaving a greasy residue, while respecting the skin's natural balance.

What is Olive Vegetable Squalane?

Plant-based olive squalane is a lipid compound (an oil) derived from olive oil. Highly regarded in the cosmetics industry, it is recognized for its exceptional moisturizing , nourishing , and protective properties.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not a greasy oil. It is a saturated hydrocarbon (C₃₀H₆₂) , which makes it chemically inert, colorless, odorless, and very stable. Its light, fluid texture allows for rapid absorption, ideal for body care formulations like those from the GRAZZI brand.

Squalane vs Squalene: What's the difference?

These two terms are often confused. Here's how to distinguish between them:

Squalene: This is the natural form found in olive oil and human sebum. However, it is unstable and oxidizes rapidly upon contact with air, which limits its direct use in cosmetics.
Squalane (our ingredient): It is obtained by hydrogenating squalene . This process makes it stable , resistant to oxidation, and perfectly suited to guarantee the quality and shelf life of your GRAZZI skincare products.

Squalane Production at GRAZZI

We prioritize a 100% plant-based origin for our squalane:

Natural source: It is extracted from olive oil , which is rich in squalene.
Purification: Squalene is isolated and purified.
Hydrogenation: It is transformed into squalane to guarantee its stability and effectiveness in our Intense Moisturizing Lotion .

The 7 Benefits of Olive Squalane for Your Skin

1. Intense Hydration and Anti-Dehydration

Plant-based squalane acts as a powerful emollient . By forming a light barrier on the skin's surface, it prevents water loss (the dreaded skin dehydration) and maintains optimal hydration throughout the day.

2. Perfect Compatibility with Your Skin

Did you know that squalane is naturally present in human sebum ? Olive squalane has a molecular structure very similar to that produced by our bodies. As a result, it is absorbed instantly, without risk of comedogenicity (it doesn't clog pores).

3. A Nourishing and Repairing Treatment

Rich in antioxidants, it deeply nourishes the skin and helps restore the natural lipid barrier . It's the perfect ally for soothing dry, sensitive, or mature skin.

4. An Ultra-Light and Non-Greasy Texture

Say goodbye to that sticky feeling after applying your skincare! Olive squalane absorbs in seconds. It's suitable for all skin types , including oily and combination skin.

5. Antioxidant Protection

It protects your skin from external aggressors such as pollution and UV rays by neutralizing free radicals . A major advantage in preventing premature signs of aging (wrinkles, age spots).

6. Soothing Properties

Thanks to its gentle anti-inflammatory action, it soothes irritations and redness and is perfectly suited to skin prone to eczema or itching.

7. Product Stability and Freshness

Thanks to its transformation (hydrogenation), squalane is extremely stable. It does not go rancid, which allows our Intense Moisturizing Lotion to retain all its properties longer, without harsh preservatives.
