How it works
Vegetable Squalane is named on the ingredient panel on this serum. Squalane is the stable, saturated version of squalene, a lipid human skin already makes. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly, does not oxidise, and is one of the few oils widely considered safe for blemish-prone skin. Most cosmetic squalane is now from sugarcane or olive rather than shark. On this panel it sits alongside Laminaria Japonica Extract, Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Extract and Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract. Laminaria Japonica is kombu kelp. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and iodine, and it is used as a hydrating, mineral-rich ingredient.

Key actives
Vegetable Squalane
Squalane is the stable, saturated version of squalene, a lipid human skin already makes. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly, does not oxidise, and is one of the few oils widely considered safe for blemish-prone skin. Most cosmetic squalane is now from sugarcane or olive rather than shark.
Laminaria Japonica Extract
Laminaria Japonica is kombu kelp. Its extract carries alginates, minerals and iodine, and it is used as a hydrating, mineral-rich ingredient.
Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Extract
Eclipta Prostrata is false daisy, long used in Ayurvedic and East Asian practice. Its extract is used as a conditioning plant extract, most often in scalp and hair formulas.
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract
Witch hazel extract, the classic astringent plant. Its tannins bind to surface proteins, which is the tightening feel a toner built on it gives.
What does Aqua Squalane Serum 50ml actually contain?
Betaine is the ingredient we lead with because it sits near the top on this product's own ingredient list, ahead of most of the rest of the formula. The full ingredient panel on this page is drawn directly from that same list, not from a marketing summary.
Where does Sodium Hyaluronate sit on the ingredient list?
Sodium Hyaluronate sits in the front half on the list, which places it among the formula's named working ingredients rather than as a trace addition at the very end. Its position on the list is one of the reasons this formula pairs it with Betaine.
How do I fit this serum into a routine?
This serum is meant to be used AM and/or PM, as the serum step, after toner or essence and before moisturizer. Apply it in that order relative to the rest of a routine, giving each layer a moment to settle before the next, and give it a few weeks of consistent use before judging the result.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?
This is the authentic Korean-market formula for Aqua Squalane Serum 50ml, sold at retail in Korea rather than reformulated for the US shelf. S.NATURE is a Korean brand built around single-ingredient and botanical-oil formulas sourced for the Korean market.
What skin type suits this serum?
It suits normal skin and dry or dehydrated skin looking for everyday hydration, used as part of a full Korean routine rather than as a standalone fix. As with any new formula, patch test first and introduce it gradually alongside what is already in a routine.

How to use
- Use this serum AM and/or PM, as the serum step, after toner or essence and before moisturizer. Pat or smooth it on rather than rubbing, and give it a moment to settle before layering the next step.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before applying to the face, as with any new skincare formula.
- Introduce a new active gradually into an existing routine rather than adding several new products at once.
