Olive Squalene. Naturally derived from the olive pit. Hands down, this is one of our favorite and most effective natural ingredients. With amazing quickness, it permeates into the skin at an astounding rate of 2mm/second. Olive Squalene is a botanical lipid that is duplicate in molecular structure and weight to human lipids. Human skin naturally produces small amounts of Squalene, but the aging process decreases its production. Because Squalene is so fine, it is absorbed into the skin leaving no oily film. This smooth, deep penetration is believed to assist in the acceleration of new cell growth, and discourage the growth of bacteria that blocks normal cell development. It is said to help prevent formation of brown age spots plus protects against sun radiation. This is a truly amazing ingredient.
