What is Squalane
Squalane for skin use is especially popular in the cosmetics industry in recent years. It is a saturated hydrocarbon that occurs naturally in human sebum and is also widely found in plant and animal fats. Due to its excellent moisturizing properties and stability, squalane has become a popular ingredient in skin care products and cosmetics.
Squalane Sources
Shark Extract
The earliest squalane was produced by extracting squalene from shark livers and then hydrogenating it. However, it takes 3,000 sharks to produce 1 ton of squalane, which is not enough to meet human needs. So animal protection organizations protested, and the European Union has banned the use of animal-produced squalane as a cosmetic raw material. But it can't be said that this raw material is gone, it is just quite, and very high in price.
Plant Extract
XI AN CHEN LANG BIO TECH supply squalane for skin is extracted from vegetable oil. Most of the squalane on the market now is extracted from olive oil and then hydrogenated. Olive oil contains not only a variety of unsaturated fatty acids that are essential to the human body such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, etc., but also contains a variety of functional active ingredients, such as squalene, tocopherol, carotenoids and phytosterols.
The skin care effects of plant squalane and animal squalane are similar, but the price is cheaper.
Chemical Compound
By chemical synthesis of raw materials with the same structure as squalane, INCI name is hydrogenated polyisobutene. Hydrogenated polyisobutene is a synthetic polymer with moisturizing, hydrating and lubricating effects. It has similar properties to natural squalane, but is much cheaper. We advise use plant extract natural squalane for skin is better.

Squalane Benefits and Functions for Skin
Delaying skin aging
Squalane for skin has good antioxidant effects and excellent stability. It can inhibit the peroxidation of skin lipids, penetrate the skin more effectively, and promote the proliferation of skin basal cells. It has obvious physiological effects on delaying skin aging, improving and eliminating chloasma.
Skin Repair
Squalane can accelerate epidermal repair and repair damaged cells. This is due to the fact that squalane can open the pores of the skin, promote microcirculation between blood, speed up the metabolism of skin cells, and then achieve the effect of repairing damaged cells. For people with thin stratum corneum and red blood streaks on their faces, skin care products containing squalane are one of the best choices for removing red blood streaks and thickening the stratum corneum.
Good permeability
Because squalane itself is a safe and effective animal fat, it has a strong effect on the integration of water and oil, so it has a better skin penetration effect.
Non-greasy, High Moisture
Squalane is pure, colorless, odorless, has strong affinity, does not cause allergies and irritation, and can quickly blend with the sebum membrane. It can not only prevent moisture loss, moisturize the skin, and regulate the water-oil balance, but also is not greasy or heavy, leaving the skin feeling fresh and clean.
Hypoallergenicity and Skin-friendly
Since squalane is hydrogenated by squalene, and squalene is an inherent moisturizing ingredient in human skin, it will have a good effect on the skin-friendly effect and irritation, and will not cause rejection. In addition, through the study of experimental cases, it was found that the sensitization rate of squalane for skin is extremely low, so low that it can be ignored.
Special Significance of Squalane on Skin of Infants and Children
The stratum corneum of infants and young children is thinner than adults, and the ability to prevent harmful substances from invading is weak. The skin is prone to moisture loss, accounting for about 13% of the body's water, while adults only account for 7%. Infants' skin has poor ability to regulate acidity and alkalinity, making them more susceptible to bacterial infections.
Therefore, squalane is a very reliable ingredient for baby skin due to its high safety, repair and moisturizing properties. It forms a natural protective layer for baby skin, resists external pollution and bacterial invasion, strengthens baby skin barrier, increases baby skin resistance, and allows baby to be protected more safely.
Packaging and Shipping
Squalane should be kept in cool and dry place.
We always package the goods by aluminum foil bottle or 20Kg/drum.
