Good Molecules Squalane Oil

The Good Molecules Squalane Oil claims to 100% plant-derived squalane to soften and seal in moisture for a healthy, hydrated complexion.
 

 

Plant derived Squalane comes from olives. Squalane is non-comedogenic (won’t block pores) and a natural component of human sebum. This assures that it’s quickly absorbed without greasy or oily residue, protecting skin against dehydration. It comprises three major antioxidants, namely, Vitamin E, Polyphenols and Phytosterols, for ultimate protection against free radical damage and restorative function. Emollient properties help it trap moisture to also keep skin soft and supple. Improved moisture retention assists to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Consistently packaged with the rest of the brand’s products, the Squalane Oil includes the same artwork on the label and outer box. It comes in a tinted brown 13ml bottle with dropper dispenser. The dropper is narrow and petite, and the oil is clear as water but obviously more viscous. There is nothing else in the formula other than 100% plant derived squalane oil. Thus, the smell comes from that single ingredient. The scent is herbal, and oddly enough, sort of resembles rubber. It fades pretty quickly following absorption and I don’t find it uncomfortable or overwhelming at any time.
 

Although the directions suggest 2-3 drops, I find the mini drops that escape the tiny pipette insufficient to give me the sort of oil coverage to which I am accustomed. I enjoy using probably twice as much. The oil displays all the characteristics you would expect of squalane, being extremely lightweight, highly absorbent and fast drying without greasy residue. It spreads nicely across the skin with plenty of slip.
 

I find it so light that I use it day and night to maintain a continuous supple skin texture. It doesn’t feel heavy in either routine, even now with the warmer spring weather upon us. This oil has blended in seamlessly with my routine.
 
The 13ml volume seems tiny, however, I have been using this oil usually twice a day since opening it around 4 weeks ago and have a bit more than half left, even with liberal use. As such, I would anticipate consistent use once a day to have it last over 3 months, well within the 6 months upon opening expiration. From a budget perspective, this is a great choice as if you don’t like it, it’s such a tiny amount with a price to match, that it’s definitely worth the risk. If you enjoy it, you have a fresh bottle every few months at a price of less than a dollar a week. You really can’t lose. Personally, I have totally enjoyed using this and will continue to do so until finished.
 
It’s a nice oil for probably all skin types since squalane is a natural component of human sebum. It’s particularly useful for those that suffer acne as it’s non-comedogenic so won’t clog pores. Those concerned with the signs of ageing will also benefit from antioxidant protection and a boost in hydration, both helping to prolong fine lines and wrinkles.
 

 

Sometimes low price reflects substandard quality. But not in this case! This single plant derived oil is great. It’s effective at making skin soft and supple, is easily and quickly absorbed, helps with hydration and dryness and is incredibly budget friendly.
