What is squalane?
- Squalane is produced by hydrogenation of squalene and can be used as an oily raw material for basic cosmetics such as balsam and nutritional emulsion.
- Squalene is obtained from the blue shark (Centrophorus) or other deep-sea shark fish liver oil and started as a by-product of the production of vitamin A from shark liver oil. In recent years, it has been found that olive oil unsaponifiable is rich in squalene, and it is used as a raw material to produce squalane.
Squalane Applications
