Squalane is a lightweight, stable hydrocarbon derived from the hydrogenation of squalene, a natural component of human sebum. It is renowned in skincare and personal care formulati ons for its exceptional emollient, moisturising and skin barrier-supporting properties. Unlike squalene, which is prone to oxidation, squalane is fully saturated and highly stable, making it ideal for long-lasting formulations. It is non-comedogenic, rapidly absorbed and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. Modern cosmetic-grade squalane is typically derived from plant sources such as sugarcane or olives, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. Show more
