Ultra Facial Cream with 4.5% Squalane

Squalane and Squalene share a close relationship but serve different purposes in skincare. Naturally present in our skin, Squalene comprises about 13% of our sebum, which helps maintain the skin's barrier and retains moisture. For stability in skincare products, Squalene is hydrogenated to become Squalane, which resists heat and oxidation. This makes Squalane a superior choice for our formulations, including the beloved Ultra Facial Cream, enhancing skin hydration and smoothness.

Our commitment to ethical sourcing is reflected in our choice of Squalane, which is derived from olives and sugar cane, ensuring a high-quality, sustainable ingredient. This practice aligns with Kiehl’s philosophy of avoiding animal-derived ingredients, making our products, like the Ultra Facial Cream, suitable for a broad audience who values ethical skincare solutions.

Both the Ultra Facial Cream and Ultra Facial Moisturizer are formulated to deliver 24-hour hydration using key ingredients like Squalane and Glycerin. The Ultra Facial Cream offers a lightweight texture that provides lasting hydration suitable for all skin types. In contrast, the Ultra Facial Moisturizer features a lighter absorption rate, ideal for those with oilier skin, ensuring a comfortable, non-greasy feel.

While the Ultra Facial Cream is designed for universal use, providing intense hydration with Squalane and Glycerin, the Facial Fuel Energizing Moisturizer caters specifically to men’s skin. This moisturizer energizes the skin with Vitamin C and Caffeine, addressing unique concerns such as dullness and fatigue.
