Squalane 90% is a highly refined, emollient derivative of squalene, prized for its lightweight texture and deep skin penetration, making it ideal for cosmetics, skincare, and personal care formulations as a moisturizer, where its fully saturated structure makes it resistant to oxidation. Beyond skincare, it is used as a lubricant and transformer oil and as an additive in perfume and pharmaceutical formulations. This ultra-pure, non-comedogenic oil is derived through hydrogenation of squalene, offering superior stability and compatibility with active ingredients. CAS 111-01-3, molecular formula C30H62, molecular weight 422.81 g/mol, and requires no special storage (ambient conditions). Non-hazardous, with no signal word classification. Molekula supplies Squalane 90% from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
