What is squalane and is it good for oily skin?

Squalane is a lightweight, stable plant-derived oil most often from sugarcane or olives that closely mimics the skin's own sebum. It provides moisture and softness without clogging pores, making it non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone. Oily skin often benefits from squalane because it can help regulate sebum production by signaling that the skin is already adequately moisturized.
