A fundamental skincare ingredient for spring skin, Vegan Squalane:

Squalane has been having a moment, and rightfully so. It features prominently in our Botanical Dew Drops and tops the list of our springtime, skin care favorites.

At The Botanyst we source our vegan squalane from ethical producers in Spain, exclusively featuring green olive-derived squalane. It is a natural compound that offers a surprising number of potential benefits for the skin.

💧Moisturization and Hydration: It has a lightweight texture that is easily absorbed into the skin, leaving it soft and supple. Squalene helps to replenish the skin’s natural lipid barrier, preventing moisture loss and maintaining optimal hydration levels.

💧Skin Barrier Protection: Vegan squalene acts as a protective barrier on the skin’s surface, helping to shield it from environmental stressors such as pollution, UV radiation, and harsh weather conditions. By strengthening the skin barrier, it helps to prevent moisture loss, keeping the skin healthy and resilient.

💧Anti-Aging Effects: Squalene possesses antioxidant properties that can help neutralize free radicals, which are harmful molecules that contribute to skin aging. By reducing oxidative stress, vegan squalene may help minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging, promoting a more youthful complexion.

💧Skin Smoothing and Softening: It helps to improve skin elasticity, making it feel more supple and resilient. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with dry or rough skin.

💧Calming and Soothing: Vegan squalene has soothing properties that can help alleviate skin irritation, redness, and sensitivity. It can be useful for calming and comforting sensitive or reactive skin types.

Intentional beauty is in our DNA.

We began The Botanyst with sustainability as a core philosophy.

Not because it’s trendy, but because we believe we owe this to ourselves and to future generations. This perspective extends from personal lifestyle choices to how we make decisions within the fabric and framework of The Botanyst community.

Punica granatum (Pomegranate) native to the Himalayas in northern India.

Rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and several B vitamins, pomegranates provide a solid foundation for nourishing your skin from within.

The fruit of the pomegranate has extensively been used as a traditional remedy against microbial infections and studies show antioxidant activity three times greater than green tea extract.

As an anti-inflammatory, pomegranate oil has demonstrated an affinity for reducing redness or dry, flaky skin.

With its unique molecular structure, pomegranate oil can deeply pe*****te skin (and hair) to deliver intense hydration. Its unique fatty acid composition & high concentration of omega-6 fatty acids - oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid promote moisture retention.

These skin-supportive nutrients in pomegranate oil may be especially helpful for those who suffer from acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
