Squalane Benefits: What Does Squalane Do for Skin?
Caring for SkinJan 9, 2020

Squalane Benefits: What Does Squalane Do for Skin?

We’re longtime advocates for minimal skincare formulas made without filler ingredients that can irritate skin and crowd out actives. With that in mind, we focus our rituals on traditionally Japanese, scientifically proven ingredients. The Serum Stick, for example, boasts 80 percent squalane that was purified in Japan without chemicals.

So, what is squalane, and how can it help you achieve smoother, suppler skin? We’re detailing its benefits in the bullet points below, so the information’s easy to absorb (much like...well, squalane).

Squalane...

  • Improves the skin barrier function, locking in moisture and minimizing dryness
  • Calms itchy or chapped skin and softens the complexion
  • Absorbs into skin readily without clogging pores or leaving a greasy finish
  • Delivers a hydrated, plump look in tandem with hyaluronic acid
  • Keeps makeup from looking dry or cakey and intensifies radiance
  • Offers benefits both instantly and over time

Because of its myriad benefits, squalane comes in many products and formats, but we’re partial to our own. Our formulas contain large amounts of squalane, so the filler ingredients we mentioned above won’t limit its effects. Plus, our squalane comes from olives, so it’s gentle and nourishing for skin. Best of all, our stick format makes it easy to apply and reapply squalane throughout the day around the eyes, laugh lines, or dry spots—so anyone can have a moment of mindful beauty, anywhere.

Wishing you moisturized skin,

The Tatcha Family

The Best Products to Brighten Dull Skin

Dull skin can affect anyone, no matter your skin type or age.  To treat dullness, it’s helpful to first uncover the root cause, whether that be under-exfoliating, over-exfoliating, environmental stress, dehydration, and more.  From there, choose skin brightening products like a clever exfoliant, a multi-purpose antioxidant serum, and a reparative moisturizer, and apply them correctly An antioxidant serum, particularly one boosted with vitamin C, is the most helpful skincare product for brightening dull skin. Look for a formula that touts clinical studies, comes in airtight packaging (to ensure the formula stays potent), and doesn’t irritate your skin.

Glutathione’s Skin Benefits: Brightening, Firming & More

Glutathione is a powerhouse antioxidant naturally found in the body, known for its ability to fight free radicals, brighten skin, boost collagen, and reduce inflammation.  As we age, our natural levels of glutathione decline, leading to visible signs of aging like wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and hyperpigmentation.  When applied topically, glutathione helps even skin tone, support skin firmness, and soothe inflammation, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.  It pairs well with other brightening ingredients like vitamin C, enhancing their stability and effectiveness.  A high-quality glutathione serum, like The Brightening Serum, delivers both instant hydration and long-term radiance, making it a must-have for a glowing complexion.

Oil Cleanser vs. Water-Based Cleanser: Which Is Right for You?

Oil-based cleansers dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and excess oil while moisturizing the skin. Water-based cleansers remove dirt and impurities using ingredients that dissolve in water. For a deep, gentle and hydrating clean, we recommend a double-cleansing method, using an oil-based cleanser first to remove buildup, followed by a water-based cleanser for a deeper clean.  Both cleansers suit various skin types, and selecting the right cleanser depends on your skin type and needs.
