In the treatment room
The one that gets out of the way.
Dermaplaning needs slip without drag and without anything that will sting freshly resurfaced skin. Squalane mimics the skin’s own lipids, so it is highly compatible, absorbs cleanly and leaves nothing behind for the next step to fight.
It is also the oil to reach for when you genuinely do not know what a client will react to. Two ingredients, no fragrance, no botanicals.
Where it fits
- Dermaplaning — smooth, irritation-free glide for the blade
- Gua sha and lymphatic work — long slip before it absorbs
- Reactive skin — nothing in it to provoke a response
- A base for your own essential oil blends

Formulator’s note
Deliberately plain
“Every back bar needs one product with no personality. When you are dermaplaning, or working on skin that reacts to things you cannot predict, the last thing you want is a formula with opinions.
Squalane is the closest thing to the skin’s own lipids, so it behaves. Two ingredients, no aroma, and a clean base you can build on when you do want to add something.”

The formula
Two ingredients.
No botanicals, no fragrance, nothing to react to.
Plant-Derived Squalane
Mimics the skin’s own lipids — highly compatible, easily absorbed, and non-comedogenic. Supports hydration, elasticity and the moisture barrier.
Vitamin E
Antioxidant support that also keeps the formula stable.

After dermaplaning, keep everything that follows calm.
Home care
What they take home
Post-dermaplane home care should be quiet. Barrier first, actives later.
Professional questions
Good to know
Is it suitable for dermaplaning?
Yes — that is its primary role. The silky texture gives smooth glide for the blade without drag or residue.
Will it clog pores?
Squalane is non-comedogenic and closely mimics the skin’s own lipids, which makes it a good option for congestion-prone skin.
Can I add essential oils to it?
Yes. It was chosen partly because it works as a neutral base for custom blends.
Does it have any scent?
None. It is unscented and free of essential oils, which makes it the safest of the three oils for fragrance-sensitive clients.
Is the squalane plant-derived?
Yes — plant-derived, not shark-derived, and non-GMO verified.
