Description

Squalane oil derived from olive oil is widely used throughout the personal care and cosmetic industries as a vegan-friendly and vegan-focused skincare additive, sought after for its emollient and moisturizing properties. This raw material is produced from squalene, an organic compound naturally found in olive oil. An organic compound, not to be confused with an organic certified material, is a compound naturally containing carbon-hydrogen bonds. After squalene goes through a process of hydrogenation, the byproduct is Squalane, a more stable ingredient and a naturally occurring component of human sebum.
