Specialty Emollients for Hair and Skin Care

Three Plant Sources, One Powerful Elixir to Secure your Beauty

Dermalcare VG Squalane ⒸSyensqo-

Dermalcare® VG Squalane is a 100% plant-based emollient sourced from olive, canola and sunflower. This multi-origin approach ensures supply security while delivering the same properties and luxurious skin feel as traditional Squalane that can be found on the market. Its softness and rounded skin feel make it ideal for all skin and hair care products.

Answering consumers' concerns

  • Iconic active emollient, hero ingredient
  • Sustainable sourcing, 100% vegetable origin
  • Compatible with all skin and hair type

A Secure Supply of 100% Plant-Based Squalane 

The supply challenges with olive-derived squalane have prompted significant shifts in the market with pricing volatility becoming a major concern. 

Dermalcare® VG Squalane, coming from three different sources (olive, sunflower and canola), allows for enhanced supply robustness, to maintain product consistency despite supply challenges.
