Why We Love It
- Our best face moisturizer does more than hydrate, smooth, and soften–it also strengthens skin’s barrier in two ways.
- First, it strengthens skin on the surface, so that it can better retain moisture
- Secondly, it helps maintain skin’s moisture deep within the skin barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SQUALANE AND SQUALENE?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SQUALANE AND SQUALENE?
While they are related, Squalane and Squalene are not identical. Squalane is the hydrogenated form of Squalene. Squalene is naturally occurring in our bodies and makes up around 13% of the skin’s sebum, helping to protect the skin’s barrier and seal in moisture. In our moisturizing cream, we derive the same skin benefits from Squalane, which is stable against heat and oxidation making it ideal for skincare formulations.
HOW IS THE SQUALANE IN ULTRA FACIAL CREAM SOURCED?
HOW IS THE SQUALANE IN ULTRA FACIAL CREAM SOURCED?
Squalane can be derived from several different natural resources. In our moisturizing cream, we use Squalane derived from olives and sugar cane. Kiehl’s never formulates with animal-derived Squalane.

DOES ULTRA FACIAL CREAM WORK AS A BASE UNDER MAKEUP?
DOES ULTRA FACIAL CREAM WORK AS A BASE UNDER MAKEUP?
Yes, absolutely! Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream works exceptionally well as a hydrating base under makeup due to:
Fast Absorption:Despite being intensely hydrating, the formula is surprisingly lightweight. It sinks into the skin quickly without leaving a heavy, greasy, or sticky residue that could cause foundation to slide off.
Creates a Smooth Canvas:It contains Squalane (a highly refined moisturizing oil derived from olives) and Glacial Glycoprotein. These ingredients work together to deeply hydrate and plump the skin. When your skin is properly moisturized, makeup glides on smoothly rather than clinging to dry patches, settling into fine lines, or looking cakey.
Prevents Flaking:By strengthening the skin's moisture barrier, it ensures your skin stays hydrated throughout the day, preventing your foundation from cracking or looking patchy after a few hours of wear.
