CAS 111-01-3: Squalane
Description:Squalane is a saturated hydrocarbon and a derivative of squalene, which is a natural organic compound found in various plants and animals, particularly in shark liver oil and olive oil. It is a colorless, odorless, and non-toxic liquid at room temperature, characterized by its emollient properties, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetics and skincare products. Squalane has a high molecular weight and is known for its ability to mimic the skin's natural oils, providing hydration and enhancing skin barrier function. It is stable and resistant to oxidation, which contributes to its long shelf life. Additionally, squalane is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores, making it suitable for various skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. Its low viscosity allows for easy absorption, leaving a silky, non-greasy feel on the skin. Due to its biocompatibility and moisturizing properties, squalane is also used in pharmaceuticals and as a lubricant in various industrial applications.
