The Beauty Of Hemisqualane

Our Hemisqualane (developed in Japan) is a cutting-edge, third-generation emollient that’s revolutionising the skincare industry. Derived through sustainable sugarcane fermentation, this plant-based, shorter-chain hydrocarbon mimics the skin’s natural squalane, delivering a range of benefits that set it apart from traditional synthetic and petroleum-based ingredients. Its unique properties make it a standout ingredient in both skincare and deodorant formulations, providing a light, non-greasy texture that enhances skin health while supporting environmentally conscious beauty solutions.

Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing

Hemisqualane is part of a new wave of sustainable ingredients, sourced entirely from renewable, plant-based origins. Unlike traditional oils derived from non-renewable resources, Hemisqualane is 100% naturally derived, biodegradable, and ECOCERT approved. By utilizing sugarcane fermentation, the ingredient is produced in an eco-friendly process that minimizes environmental impact and prioritizes renewable sources.

Why Hemisqualane is a Game-Changer in Skincare

In skincare, Hemisqualane has rapidly gained popularity due to its unique ability to mimic the skin’s natural oils, offering lightweight hydration without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue. It is non-comedogenic, making it ideal for sensitive skin types or those prone to breakouts. Additionally, its quick absorption and smooth finish make it a preferred choice for formulations designed to provide both efficacy and an enjoyable sensorial experience.

1. Weightless Hydration: Unlike heavier oils, Hemisqualane provides moisture without overwhelming the skin, leaving a dry, satin-like finish.
2. Non-Greasy, Non-Sticky: Its lightweight texture makes it perfect for daily use, providing hydration that feels invisible yet effective.
3. Biodegradable and Eco-Friendly: As a 100% plant-based and biodegradable ingredient, Hemisqualane supports a more sustainable, earth-friendly approach to skincare.

The Role of Hemisqualane in Deodorant

While Hemisqualane is best known for its use in skincare, it has also emerged as a key ingredient in next-generation deodorants, with He Fe’s Deo Serum being the first in the world to full develop this into a formulation, it provides several essential benefits:

1. Even Spreadability: The weightless, dry feel of Hemisqualane allows  our deodorant to spread smoothly and evenly around the underarm without any tugging or uneven application. This enhances the overall user experience by ensuring easy, consistent coverage.

2. Non-Sticky, Non-Greasy Finish: Many traditional deodorants leave a sticky or greasy residue. Hemisqualane offers a solution by creating a silky layer on the skin that feels light and breathable, providing comfort throughout the day.

3. Pore-Friendly: One of the most important aspects of a good deodorant is its ability to keep the skin fresh without clogging pores. Hemisqualane's non-comedogenic nature ensures that it won’t block pores, reducing the risk of irritation or breakouts in the sensitive underarm area.

4. Odour Control and Sensory Experience: In addition to improving the texture and application of deodorants, Hemisqualane supports odor control by creating a breathable, protective barrier on the skin. It enhances the overall feel of the product, making deodorants not only effective but also enjoyable to use.
