Did you know?

Did you know that squalene, a natural compound with a long history of use in cosmetics, was first discovered in 1916. This ingredient, found in some plants, especially the olive tree, is prized for its ability to moisturize and soften the skin. As we age, the natural production of squalene in our skin decreases, so in skin care products it is used to restore hydration and improve texture. Its use in creams and serums helps keep the skin soft, radiant and well-balanced, providing a feeling of comfort and freshness.
