Squalane

Product Overview

Squalane is a highly refined, saturated hydrocarbon derived from the hydrogenation of Squalene. As a premier emollient in the cosmetic industry, it offers exceptional oxidative stability compared to its unsaturated counterpart. Our manufacturing process ensures a high-purity product that is fully compliant with international safety standards, sourced primarily from vegetable origins to meet ethical and regulatory requirements. This stable liquid is renowned for its compatibility with human sebum, making it an ideal choice for sensitive skin formulations.

Key Technical Features

The chemical structure of Squalane provides unique benefits for formulators seeking performance and stability. Unlike unsaturated oils, it does not oxidize easily, extending the shelf life of finished products. It possesses excellent spreadability and leaves a non-greasy, silky after-feel on the skin. Furthermore, it acts as an effective carrier for other active ingredients, enhancing penetration without causing irritation. The material is non-comedogenic, ensuring it does not clog pores, which is critical for facial care applications.

Specifications and Quality Control

We adhere to strict quality assurance protocols to guarantee consistency across every batch. The following table outlines the key physical and chemical parameters verified during our analysis process. Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to confirm compliance with these standards.

Industrial Applications

This versatile ingredient is widely utilized across various personal care categories. In skincare, it serves as a primary moisturizer in serums, creams, and lotions, providing deep hydration. In hair care formulations, it helps to restore shine and reduce frizz without weighing hair down. Additionally, it is used in makeup products such as foundations and lipsticks to improve texture and application smoothness. Its stability makes it suitable for products containing active vitamins or antioxidants that might degrade in less stable oil bases.

Storage and Handling

To maintain optimal quality, Squalane should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. The container must be kept tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination. Under recommended storage conditions, the product maintains its specified properties for an extended period. We offer flexible packaging options including drums and isotanks to suit various production scales.
