Squalane: effective % & pH 스쿠알란
⏱ 1 min read
⚡ Quick answer: Squalane: effective concentration varies (emollient; can be 1–100% in face oils), optimal pH n/a, evidence Moderate. Squalane % is about texture/richness, not active strength; pH doesn't apply to an oil, and 100% simply means an undiluted facial oil.
How much Squalane actually works? Here's the dosage, pH and evidence — the formulator-level read behind the % on a Korean label.
| Effective % | varies (emollient; can be 1–100% in face oils) |
|---|---|
| Optimal pH | n/a |
| Evidence | Moderate |
| Onset | Immediate (softening feel) |
What the % on the label really means
Squalane % is about texture/richness, not active strength; pH doesn't apply to an oil, and 100% simply means an undiluted facial oil.
⚠️ Ceiling: It's an emollient, not a dose-dependent active — '100% squalane' just means a pure oil, not a stronger treatment.
