Why We Love Olive-Derived Squalane for Skin Hydration

Britt James

When it comes to skincare, hydration is the holy grail.
But not all ingredients are created equal. Enter olive-derived squalane—a skin-loving superstar that’s as natural and effective as it gets. Here’s why we use it and why your skin will thank you for it..

 

 

What is Olive-Derived Squalane?

Squalane is a silky, lightweight oil derived from squalene (yep, they’re different). While squalene is naturally found in our skin, its levels drop as we age. Enter olive-derived squalane—a sustainable, plant-based version that mimics your skin’s own oils.

 

Why is it so Good for Hydration?

Think of squalane as a drink of water for your skin. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t clog pores, and helps lock in moisture where you need it most. It strengthens your skin barrier, keeping irritation and dryness at bay. The best part? It works on all skin types, even sensitive skin, without leaving a greasy residue.

 

Bonus Skin Benefits

Olive-derived squalane doesn’t stop at hydration—it’s a multi-tasker. It’s rich in antioxidants, which help fight environmental stressors, and it boosts your skin’s elasticity, leaving it soft, smooth, and healthy-looking.

 

Why We Use It

At Sol Sista Co., we believe in ingredients that are kind to your skin and the planet. Olive-derived squalane is ethically sourced, lightweight, and delivers hydration that lasts. It’s a key player in our BUTTA BLOCK™️ Tinted Mineral Beauty Zinc SPF 50+ because your skin deserves the best.

Simple, nourishing, and effective—that’s what we’re all about.
