Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Squalane is an emollient that helps the skin hold onto moisture. It's an oily liquid that occurs naturally in certain types of fish and plant oils.
Because squalane boosts hydration in the skin, it also comes with plenty of benefits: it is an antioxidant and can help fight free radicals and skin damage. Squalane is also found to have a detoxifying effect when applied.
Squalane comes from squalene, which occurs naturally within the sebum of our skin. It is one of the oils our skin produces to keep itself hydrated. Squalane is the hydrogenated version of squalene and has a longer shelf life.
Research shows that squalane is non-irritating (even at 100% concentration).
In general, it's a fantastic ingredient. It does a great job at hydrating the skin, and it's suitable for those with sensitive skin.
The source of squalane may impact malassezia / fungal acne. This is because olive oil derived squalane can contain impurities such as fatty acids and plant waxes. Sugarcane derived squalane is recommended for anyone with malassezia concerns.
Is squalane vegan?
This depends on the source. Squalane can be derived from both plants and animals. Most squalane used in skincare comes from plants.
Please note: the source of squalane is only known if disclosed by the brand. We recommend reaching out to the brand if you have any questions about their squalane.

Looks great if using a good primer, but ultimately the price tag is way too high for a bottle of tinted vegetable oil. Also breaks me out.

Goodbye foundation ๐
I've honestly gave up wearing foundation as it always looks cakey or leaves dry patches, I could never make it look good on me no matter what technique I used, so I started looking for something a bit lighter like a skin tint/tinted moisturiser/sheer coverage foundation etc, and I've tried Saie, BareMinerals, Fenty, which were okay but are nothing compared to this, it's perfect, it's exactly what I've been looking for! Sheer/light coverage, hydrating finish, no pilling, no dry patches! Amazing for a natural makeup looks, the only complaint (not a proper complaint) is the fair shades, I use the lightest shade 1 which is described as being "very fair skin with golden yellow undertones" which I would agree it is, I can make work for my cool-undertone skin but I do wish they had a cooler fair shade but honestly a very minor complaint considering how good its looks. The best one I've tried would recommend for anyone who wants a natural makeup look!
