Squalane is a premium cosmetic ingredient derived from two primary sources: plant oils (such as sugarcane, olive, and rice bran) and shark liver oil. As a saturated derivative of squalene—a natural component of human sebum—Squalane is highly biocompatible and exceptionally stable.
Renowned for its ability to mimic natural skin oils, it serves as an excellent emollient. It penetrates the skin effortlessly, delivering deep hydration without leaving a greasy residue. Beyond hydration, Squalane possesses anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe irritation and reduce redness. It also acts as an antioxidant, shielding the skin from environmental stressors and free radicals.
