Olive Oil-Derived Squalane Offers Eco-Friendly Relief For Sensitive Skin

Mediomega Nutrition, the North American leader in promoting the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, announced a breakthrough in skin rejuvenation with the release of its olive oil-derived squalane (pronounced skwal-on) formula — Mediomega(TM) Squalane.

Squalane is a lipid component of the skin that declines with age and exposure to the sun and extreme weather. Applying squalane regularly will help reduce damage and rejuvenate the skin. Unlike synthetic moisturizers that only temporarily moisturize the top layer of skin, squalane penetrates to the deepest layer of skin, aiding regeneration.

Studies also show that squalane helps reduce wrinkles, heal chapped or dry skin, and positively affect skin rashes, such as eczema. Squalane is used as an ingredient in most top skincare products due to its light, non-greasy texture and powerful hydrating capabilities. However, recent studies revealing the negative effects of synthetic ingredients also contained in these formulas has prompted leading dermatologists to recommend that their patients only use pure squalane. Mediomega Squalane is highly purified, so it does not aggravate even the most sensitive skin.

“People with all types of skin challenges see results in a matter of days,” said Newport Beach, California physician Dr. Robin Willcourt. “I even know lupus patients with the difficult skin issues arising from this condition that get relief with Mediomega Squalane.”
