What is Squalene?
Did you know that your body has a built-in system that keeps it moisturized? Well, Squalene is a naturally occurring lipid that is produced by our own skin cells and it helps keep the body nourished and well-conditioned. The period where our skin cells produce the maximum amount of Squalene is during our teen years. Unfortunately, the natural production of Squalene lowers by itself during our 20s and 30s and as we age further, our body starts producing less and less Squalene naturally. This is why we tend to turn towards external means of incorporating it into our system because, WITHOUT Squalene, our skin starts becoming drier and rougher. The same applies to hair!
Is Squalene a natural ingredient?
Squalene is a naturally occurring lipid in the human body, made by the liver, & responsible for skin elasticity, softness, and suppleness. Now, here comes a brand that understands the benefits of natural Squalene. And not only that, but a brand that has decided to get inspired enough by it to derive Squalene from Olives to provide a unique and effective remedy in the haircare and self-care category which is completely cruelty-free and vegan.
Why does hair benefit from Squalene Oil?
Squalene isn’t only for your face and body, it’s great for hair as well. Olive Squalene Oil which is a key ingredient in the iluvia Squalene Restorative Conditioner and the Intensive Haircare Serum, strengthens hair by improving hair elasticity, thereby reducing hair breakage while combing or styling. When it comes to hair, elasticity is an important thing. The better elasticity your hair has, the stronger it is and therefore more resistant to breakage. With this elasticity naturally decreasing over time and with external hindrances, it is important to give your hair the extra TLC and the benefit of Squalene. And last, by not least, Squalene Oil gives your hair that extra oomph and shine, as a result of which your hair doesn’t only LOOK better, but it FEELS better as well. iluvia’s conditioner and hair serum with its Olive Squalene Oil does exactly that! These scientifically formulated products are specifically made to ensure that your hair and you get to benefit from them.
Why should you look out for Squalene Oil in your hair care products?
Squalene helps a lot with increasing the strength of your hair, and that has a direct correlation with the amount of breakage you face. The moment you pick and choose specialised products containing Squalene you’re helping your hair become stronger and healthier.
For their products, iluvia uses a bio-oil-based revolutionary conditioning system—a completely new approach to improving hair’s softness through a healing process, instead of using artificial insoluble silicones for temporary softness. This in turn advances hair quality as the Squalene present in the systems helps improve hair elasticity and reduce friction and breakage.
