• 100% squalane, nothing else
  • Fast-absorbing, non-greasy
  • Won't clog pores
  • Softens, smooths fine lines

What it is

A 100% squalane face oil from Brown and Coconut, a skincare brand built on simple, plant-rich formulas.

What it does

Squalane is similar to our skin's natural oils, so it delivers breathable moisture that soothes, softens, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Fast-absorbing and non-greasy, it will not clog pores, and it is made for oily, dry, and sensitive skin alike.

Who it's for

Oily, dry, and sensitive skin. Anyone who wants one oil that behaves.

How to use

How much: 2-3 drops, pressed onto damp skin.

1. After cleansing and toning, warm 2-3 drops between your palms.
2. Press onto slightly damp face and neck.

Where it fits: After toner, before or instead of moisturizer.

Why we stock it

We stock this because it is the simplest product we carry: one ingredient, 100% squalane, and it works for every skin type including oily.

About the brand

Brown and Coconut

Minimal ingredients, maximal glow

Brown and Coconut is a sister-owned company: Zeena and Letisha started it as a lifestyle blog in Boston in 2013 while trying to heal their own acneic skin, which conventional treatments weren't fixing. Unable to find what they were looking for in stores, they developed their own plant-based formulas with cosmetic chemist expertise, using minimal ingredients in powerful combinations. Everything ships plastic-free in glass, and each order removes ocean-bound plastic.

We stock Brown and Coconut because their botanical masks and balms are the kind of simple, effective formulas we'd mix ourselves if we knew how.

Skincare questions, answered

Where does this go in my routine?

Thinnest to thickest: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, then SPF in the morning. This product's How to use section above tells you its exact step.

When will I see results?

Give it 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use — that's one full skin cycle. Hydration shows up in days; tone and texture take weeks. If your skin reacts badly (stinging, new breakouts that don't settle within a week), stop using it.

I have sensitive skin. Will this irritate me?

Patch test first: a dab behind your ear or along your jawline, wait 24 hours. Fragrance-free formulas are the safest bet for reactive skin — check the highlights on this page.
