"Squalane oil is one of the lightest facial oil textures out there and it is also skin identical, which means our body kind of recognizes it as its own in a way. If you just want to dip a toe into the pool, you don't want to jump all the way in, this is where I suggest you start because it's the lightest one, it's the most skin respectful one. If you're just not sure if oil is right for you but you're open to trying, try this one."

"If you're putting castor oil on your skin for dry skin, you're much better off using many other things. Squalane oil, coconut oil, I have no problem with the oils. That's one of the first things I got obsessed with and dug into."
