Hydrate Skin With the Ordinary's Plant-devierd Squalane Serum
Description
The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane
The Ordinary's 100% Plant-Derived Squalane is a single-ingredient moisturizing serum/oil that provides deep, effective hydration for all skin types. Squalane is a stable, plant-derived lipid closely related to the skin's own sebum — it absorbs quickly, does not clog pores, and is exceptionally well-tolerated by sensitive and acne-prone skin. This formula uses squalane derived entirely from plant sources (sugarcane), consistent with The Ordinary's commitment to transparent, evidence-backed formulations.
This product is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, cruelty-free, and vegan.

FAQs
What is squalane and where does The Ordinary source it?
Squalane is a stable, saturated lipid derived from squalene. The Ordinary uses 100% plant-derived squalane sourced from sugarcane, making it a sustainable and vegan alternative to shark-derived squalene.
Is squalane suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes. Squalane is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores. Its molecular structure is similar to skin's own lipids, making it well-tolerated even by oily and acne-prone skin types.
Can I use this with other The Ordinary products?
Yes. Squalane is best applied after water-based products. It can be mixed with other serums to boost hydration, or used as a final step to seal in moisture.
Is this product fragrance-free?
Yes. The Ordinary Squalane contains only one ingredient — squalane — with no added fragrance, dyes, or unnecessary additives.
Can squalane replace a moisturizer?
For many skin types, squalane provides sufficient daily moisturization on its own. For very dry or compromised skin, layering with a cream moisturizer is recommended.
