Molecular Formula: C30H62
CAS No: 111-01-3
Squalane is a naturally occurring component in the skin, recognized for its remarkable compatibility with skin. It is highly compatible with the sebum produced by the skin, creating a breathable protective layer on the skin's surface. This layer delivers exceptional moisturizing and softening benefits, effectively reducing skin dryness, preserving skin elasticity, and speeding up the repair of the epidermis. Squalane is known for its excellent absorption, light texture, and gentle nature, boasting high safety and not leading to skin sensitivity. Consequently, it is commonly used as an ingredient in skincare formulations.

Moisturizing and Nourishing for the Skin
Squalane is a component naturally present in the skin, known for its excellent compatibility with the skin. It is highly soluble with the sebum secreted by the skin, forming a breathable protective film on the skin's surface. This film provides outstanding moisturizing and skin-softening effects, effectively alleviating skin dryness, maintaining skin elasticity, and accelerating epidermal repair. Squalane has excellent penetration, a refreshing texture, and a mild nature, with high safety, and does not cause skin sensitivity. As a result, it is widely used as an ingredient in skincare products.
Market Demand
Squalane of natural origin is primarily produced through the extraction and processing from the livers of sharks. However, the production of 1 ton of squalane requires the sacrifice of 3,000 sharks, and this large-scale fishing has caused significant damage to marine ecosystems and cannot meet market demand.
Benefits from the Advantages of Natural Fermentation
Leveraging research in synthetic biology of natural products, Hesheng Technology has innovatively developed a production route for natural squalane. This method combines biotechnological fermentation and chemical semi-synthesis, effectively reducing production costs and meeting market demands while protecting marine ecosystems. It holds immense commercial value.
