Squalane
Squalane is the clean, lightweight, plant-derived base in every Seed&Berry emulsion: a true all-phase hero that delivers consistent, gentle hydration and barrier support no matter where you are in your cycle.
Vegan
100% vegan and sourced from olives (never from sharks), squalane is a stable, non-comedogenic emollient that mimics the skin’s natural lipids. It absorbs instantly without greasiness, locks in moisture, strengthens the skin barrier, and prevents water loss, helping your skin stay soft, supple, and resilient whether it’s feeling fragile (Menstrual), glowing (Follicular), or oilier and more reactive (Luteal).
Biomimetic
Clinical results show topical squalane helps increase cell turnover, improves moisture and skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and enhances overall skin barrier integrity. As a biomimetic molecule naturally occurring in skin, it feels intuitively right and works in harmony with your body’s own functions.
Polyphenols
Its exceptional stability ensures it won’t oxidise or irritate over time, and its silky texture makes every cream feel luxurious yet effortless. Research also shows that squalane helps retain beneficial polyphenols longer in the skin for better, sustained protection.
