100% Plant-Derived Squalane

The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane is a single-ingredient hydration oil — nothing in the bottle but squalane sourced from plants. It's the minimalist answer to skin that keeps losing moisture, and it works for oily skin as well as dry.

What it actually does

• Locks in hydration. The Ordinary describes squalane as an exceptional hydrator that can stop the ongoing water loss that leaves skin less supple.
• Feels light, not greasy. It's positioned as a lightweight solution despite being highly emollient — a rare combination in a facial oil.
• One ingredient, zero clutter: free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and the rest of the brand's exclusion list; vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free.
• Plays the supporting role. It doesn't treat concerns like pigmentation or lines — it simply keeps the hydration you've applied from escaping.

How to use

1. Apply a few drops over the whole face, once a day or whenever skin needs it.
2. Ideally go in after your water-based serums and treatments, so the oil seals them in.

Questions

Is this an oil or a serum?

It's a pure squalane oil used like a serum — a few drops pressed over the face. Because it's so light, it suits people who normally avoid face oils.

When in my routine should it go?

After your water-based treatments, so it can hold that hydration in. Daily use is fine, or just on days your skin feels tight.
