Gelled Squalane

Versagel SQ is a great additive or substitute in both oil-based formulas and emulsions. Versagel SQ is a gelled squalane product, which is naturally present in the skin lipid barrier and is an ingredient known for its exceptional moisturizing abilities and its ability to penetrate the skin to deliver benefits. Like jojoba, it closely mimics the body’s natural moisturizers and is absorbed quickly and effectively, without leaving greasy reside on the skin. Squalane is a non-GMO, plant-derived ingredient and Versagel SQ is a high quality replacement for shark and olive squalene. It is derived from plant sugar, is ECOCERT approved, and is readily biodegradable as well.

In makeup, it facilitates the even application of products such as lipsticks, foundations, and hot-poured products such as lip balms, glosses and gels.
