About Squalane

Squalane is extracted from deep-sea shark liver squalene by hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon oils and fats, also known as iso-thirtiethane, squalane, squalane is hydrogenated from squalene, can be used as a balsam, nutritional lotions and other basic cosmetic oily raw materials. Appearance colorless, odorless bright and transparent, chemical formula for C30H62. squalane is one of the components of the oil between the skin, commonly known as the sebaceous membrane, is one of the components of the skin's outermost layer of water-locking defense layer, that is to say, squalane can help to build a sebaceous membrane, to enhance the elasticity of the skin, and its self-moisturizing water-locking ability to replenish the skin with water, and at the same time, can enhance the skin's immune system.

Squalane has good permeability and can enter the skin to replenish cellular lipids and nourish the skin. After massaging the skin with squalane, the skin will become soft, moisturized and elastic, which is the result of the penetration of squalane into the skin to play a role.

Main Functions：

1. Squalane: Strengthens the repair of the epidermis, effectively forming a natural protective film and helping to achieve a balance between the skin and sebum.

2. Squalane is a kind of lipid closest to human sebum, with strong affinity, can be fused with the body's own sebum membrane, forming a natural barrier on the surface of the skin.

3. Squalane can also inhibit the peroxidation of skin lipids, can effectively penetrate into the skin, promote the proliferation of skin basal cells, to slow down the aging of the skin, improve and eliminate chloasma has obvious physiological effects.

4. Squalane can also make the skin pores open, promote blood microcirculation, enhance cell metabolism and help repair damaged cells.

Squalane is widely used as a cosmetic base and superfatting agent for finishing cosmetics, precision machinery lubricants, medical ointments, and high-grade soaps.

Squalane is the most commonly used standard non-polar fixative, and its polarity is set to zero. The force between this type of fixative and the component molecules is dispersive, and it is mainly used to separate general hydrocarbons and non-polar compounds.
