Properties and Usage:

Squalane is a colorless, odorless saturated hydrocarbon with good lubricity and moisturizing properties. It is mainly used in skin care products, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Although originally derived from the liver oil of deep-sea sharks, modern production is more sustainably synthesized from plant sources such as olive oil.

1. Skin care products
Moisturizer: Squalane can form a protective film on the skin surface, effectively reducing water loss and keeping the skin soft and moisturized. Its composition is similar to the skin's natural sebum, making it especially suitable for dry and sensitive skin.
Anti-aging: It has significant anti-aging effects by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by enhancing skin barrier function and providing long-lasting moisture.
Soothing effect: It can soothe damaged skin, such as sunburn or skin after surgery, and accelerate the skin repair process.

2. Cosmetics
Cosmetic base: Due to its excellent lubricity and stability, squalane is often used as a base ingredient in cosmetics to help cosmetics spread more evenly and improve their durability.
Formulation Stabilizer: In cosmetics, it helps improve product stability and prevent oil oxidation, thereby extending service life.

3. Medicines
Ointments and creams: Squalane is often used in the formulation of ointments and creams as a lubricant and protectant, helping medications penetrate the skin better and enhance their effectiveness.
Healing and Soothing: The soothing and repairing properties of squalane are especially important when treating dry, cracked, or irritated skin conditions.

4. Personal care products
Hair Care Products: Squalane is also added to shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to help moisturize and protect hair, making it smoother and shiny.
Lip balm: Because of its excellent moisturizing effect, it is often used in lip care products such as lip balm to provide long-lasting moisture.

5.Pharmaceutical industry
