Squalane is a lightweight, emollient oil derived from squalene, naturally found in human sebum and olive oil, widely used in skincare and cosmetics for its deep moisturizing and skin-barrier-supporting properties. Industrially, it also serves as a lubricant and transformer oil, an additive in perfumes and pharmaceutical formulations, and an inert ingredient in non-food pesticide products. It is also employed in haircare formulations for its non-greasy texture and ability to enhance shine and softness. This clear, odorless liquid has a CAS number of 111-01-3, a molecular formula of C30H62, and a molecular weight of 422.81 g/mol. It requires no special storage conditions and carries no hazard classification. Molekula supplies Squalane from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
