Now, this still probably won't be an issue if your skin isn't super sensitive to fungal-related flare-ups, but it's something to keep in mind if you are really sensitive or if you've had problems with products containing the two aforementioned ingredients and couldn't figure out why. ![]() I e-mailed Avène to ask where their squalane is sourced from, and sure enough, it comes from olive oil. Squalane derived from olive oil often contains impurities in the form of problematic fatty acids, but this isn't the case with squalane derived from sugar cane. However, caprylic/capric triglyceride is derived from coconut oil and can have impurities that include other coconut fatty acids that do have carbon chain lengths between 11 and 24. Caprylic/capric triglyceride is fine on the surface because caprylic acid and capric acid are two fatty acids that are not metabolized by malassezia yeasts, as malassezia yeasts only feed on fatty acids with carbon chain lengths of 11-24. ![]() The two ingredients in question are caprylic/capric triglyceride and squalane. ![]() Unfortunately, this still caused my skin to flare up a bit, likely because I am just more sensitive than most. I have issues with malassezia folliculitis and many people with the same or similar fungal-related conditions say that this product and the Emulsion work great for them. I bought this to try as a face and body moisturizer since it is essentially the exact same as the Tolerance Extreme Emulsion (which is actually intended to be a moisturizer) but WAY cheaper per ounce.
