Squalane is a highly pure, sugar-derived emollient achieving a ≥97% assay through an advanced bio-fermentation process utilizing sucrose. By structurally mimicking human sebum with a relative density of 0.800~0.815 at 20°C, it forms a non-sticky hydrolipid mantle to deeply hydrate and restore skin barriers without clogging pores.
Its robust antioxidant capacity neutralizes free radicals to combat UVA aging, while demonstrating an impressive skin absorption rate that is 5 to 10 times higher than traditional oils like jojoba or sunflower oil. This rapid penetration makes it an ideal, highly compatible active delivery system formulated at a recommended dosage of 1-5% for premium sensitive and anti-aging skincare applications.

ADVANTAGES
1.Natural Origin Index = 1
Formulated with a Natural Origin Index of exactly 1, our sugar-derived BioSyn-Squalane is produced entirely without chemical additions or harmful solvents during the Squalene phase. By utilizing sustainable sucrose as the starting material to ferment into farnesene, we ensure a natural profile that meets strict clean beauty standards. This ecological process guarantees an environmentally friendly ingredient with a zero-compromise approach to your sustainable cosmetic formulations.
2.≥ 97% Assay
Our rigorous distillation and purification technologies guarantee an exceptionally high purity level with a ≥98% assay. This clear, colorless, and odorless oily liquid maintains strict quality control, exhibiting an acid value of ≤0.2 mg/g and a saponification value of ≤3.0 mg/g. Such uncompromising purity ensures maximum stability, meaning it oxidizes much more slowly than standard squalene and will not lose its potent moisturizing properties over its extensive 2-year shelf life.
3.Adequate and steady supply
We maintain a highly stable, uninterrupted global supply chain backed by our ISO 9001:2015 certified management system and advanced ecological extraction platforms. Unlike animal-sourced squalane limited by deep-sea shark liver availability, our bio-fermented and plant-derived production capabilities allow for a massive, scalable output. This guarantees that we can consistently meet bulk manufacturing demands, providing formulators with reliable access to premium squalane without seasonal shortages or supply chain disruptions.
4.Sustainable and readily biodegradable
Committed to environmental stewardship, our squalane is readily biodegradable and leaves a minimal ecological footprint. Engineered through low-temperature controllable crystallization and high-vacuum processes, it requires no harmful solvents, reflecting our dedication to green chemistry. Furthermore, with an iodine value of ≤4.0 g/100g and residue on ignition kept strictly below 0.5%(这一句删掉), the final product is a clean, eco-conscious choice that perfectly aligns with modern, sustainable, and vegan cosmetic industry requirements.
EFFICACIES
•Stimulates collagen synthesis and repairs aged/damaged tissue microarchitecture
Our squalane actively stimulates collagen synthesis to repair aged or damaged tissue microarchitecture, significantly improving skin firmness. Operating effectively at a recommended formulation dosage of just 1-5%, it integrates flawlessly into anti-aging creams and serums to smooth fine lines. Its structural affinity to human sebum allows it to rebuild the skin's natural hydrolipid mantle seamlessly.
•Neutralizes free radicals induced by UV exposure to prevent photoaging.
As a potent antioxidant, this ingredient efficiently neutralizes free radicals induced by severe UVA exposure, fundamentally preventing premature photoaging. Because it oxidizes much more slowly than traditional squalene, it provides long-lasting protection for the skin's lipid layer. This enduring stability defends vulnerable skin tissues from chronic oxidative stress caused by daily sunlight and harmful external environmental factors.
•Forms a breathable occlusive film to prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
It forms a non-sticky, breathable occlusive oil film on the skin's surface, expertly preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). By mimicking the natural fats that fill the spaces between epidermal cells, it functions as an excellent moisturizing agent. Clinical testing indicates its superior spreadability creates an optimal moisture barrier that protects the skin while maintaining normal, healthy cellular function.
•Low molecular weight enables efficient transdermal delivery of actives
FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between squalane and squalene?
A1: Squalene is a natural triterpene that provides skin firming and hydration, but it oxidizes rapidly and can provoke inflammation. Squalane is the stable, hydrogenated version that oxidizes much more slowly, does not lose its properties over its 2-year shelf life, and absorbs quickly without clogging pores.
Q2: What are the main sources of your squalane?
A2: We offer sustainable options beyond traditional animal sources like deep-sea shark liver. Our plant-sourced squalane is extracted from high-yield soybean oil, olive, and sunflower oils, while our BioSyn-Squalane is synthesized via the bio-fermentation of sucrose into squalene.
Q3: How well does squalane absorb compared to other cosmetic oils?
A3: Squalane demonstrates superior skin absorption, absorbing 5 to 10 times faster than other common carrier oils. In 24-hour tests, its absorption rate heavily outperformed jojoba oil, sunflower oil, and GTCC, allowing it to form a non-sticky film that is quickly absorbed by the skin.
Q4: Can squalane improve the delivery of active ingredients in my formulation?
A4: Yes, due to its low molecular weight, it acts as a highly efficient transdermal delivery system. Test data shows it can transport approximately 21 μg of active substances, such as CBD, over 24 hours, which is significantly more effective than hemp seed oil or jojoba oil.
Q5: Is this squalane stable for long-term product formulations?
A5: Absolutely. Our product features an iodine value of ≤4.0 g/100g and an acid value of ≤0.2 mg/g, ensuring it is highly stable and not easily oxidized. It comes with a guaranteed 2-year shelf life when stored properly away from strong light and heat.
Q6: What is the recommended dosage for cosmetic applications?
A6: For optimal formulation stability, skin barrier strengthening, and moisturizing benefits, the recommended dosage is between 1% and 5%. It is easy to emulsify, highly compatible, and suitable for a variety of products including creams, repair serums, sunscreens, and hair conditioners.
