Ingredients I love: Squalane Oil

Squalane Oil (known around here as Pure Bliss) is to me what Windex is to the father in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Derived from the olive & used in Asian skin care for centuries, Squalane Oil is:

  • 100% natural

  • scentless

  • the lightest oil I have ever felt

  • quickly penetrating
It is known to:


  • promote elasticity

  • promote cell regeneration

  • help healing

  • fight fine lines & wrinkles

  • soothe tricky skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis & rosacea
It has been used for:


  • spots that need a little extra TLC (hands, cuticles...)

  • facial moisturizer (I use it every day)

  • eye treatment (I use it every night)

  • extremely chapped lips (and even the skin around the lips)

  • assisting the healing of scratches, scrapes, scuffs & cuts

  • dry cracked heals

  • cradle cap
Personally, I use it all the time. Example: when Teagan was a newborn the doctor informed me he had eczema and that I should use hydrocortizone cream on his dry spots. I admit, being the sleep-deprived new mother I went home & applied the cream for a couple of days - no improvement. Then it hit me. What in the world was I thinking?!?! I blame it on mommy-brain. I started to use the Pure Bliss & within 36 hours the dry spots were gone.

I'm not the only one with success stories. Some others include: healing bedsores; severly decreasing the irritation of eczema on both the body & scalp; evening out tricky facial skin; cuticle oil (used by salons & spas); and the list goes on.
