What Squalane does

A lightweight, stable oil that mimics your skin's own sebum. It softens and seals in moisture without clogging pores, so even oily skin usually tolerates it.

What Urea does

A natural moisturising factor that pulls water into skin. At 10% and above it also softens rough, flaky patches. It is excellent for very dry skin, keratosis pilaris and cracked heels.

Yes, and they work even better together. Both are gentle, barrier-friendly ingredients. Layering them gives you extra hydration and comfort with no conflict at all.

Which goes first, Squalane or Urea?

Apply Urea first, then Squalane. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.

Squalane: works morning or night. Press 2–3 drops in as the last step at night, or mix a drop into your moisturiser.

Should I use Urea in the morning or at night?

Urea: works morning or night. Use 5–10% on the face or body daily. Higher strengths can sting on broken or freshly exfoliated skin.
