SqualaneTypical Properties

Introduction

Squalane is a natural skin moisturizer with a structure similar to the natural oils of the skin. It can quickly penetrate deep into the skin, form a protective layer, lock in moisture, and have the effects of moisturizing and softening the skin. This ingredient has high chemical stability, excellent user experience, good affinity for the skin, low polarity, and moderate spreadability, making it an ideal skincare ingredient.

Function

The antioxidant activity of Squalane is also one of its important characteristics. Experimental results have shown that squalene/alkane can capture ultraviolet radiation, preventing skin cells from oxidation, aging, and cancer caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation. This antioxidant effect helps protect the skin from free radical damage and delay the aging process of the skin.

Application

Squalane, Also known as is otriacontane, it is a moisturizing oil with good skin affinity and permeability. It can form a barrier on the skin like a sebum membrane, effectively locking in moisture and providing long-lasting moisturizing effects. Squalane has a similar structure to squalene, which is naturally secreted by the skin. Therefore, it can easily adhere to the skin, form a protective film, and quickly achieve water oil balance, firmly locking in moisture. In addition, Squalane also has a repairing and stabilizing effect, which can soften keratin and help repair the skin barrier. For people with thin stratum corneum and red blood streaks on the face, Squalane can remove red blood streaks and thicken the stratum corneum.
