What is Squalane?
An excellent moisturizer and lubricant, it softens and smoothes the skin while also replenishing skin lipids. Its compatibility with skin lipids can be attributed to the fact that human sebum is made up of 25 percent squalane. Squalane has traditionally been obtained by hydrogenation of shark liver oil or other natural oil. In recent times it is derived from plant sources or synthetically manufactured.

Good price point.
CON
It claimed great for “all skin types". Personally this wouldn't be my first recommendation for some of my clients based on the ingredient deck
-
Fragrance/essential oil: Any one who knows me knows I love my lavender essential oils . It's my go to fragrance when I pick out candles or just want to relax. However I know from experience that this scent may be to overwhelming for some; so on that note that is a con. I think it would be more universal if it did not have a scent like my Holy grail, tatcha camelia oil.
