Squalane is the hydrogenated, fully saturated form of squalene. While squalene is unsaturated and easily oxidizes, squalane has no double bonds, offering excellent oxidation stability, longer shelf life, and a lightweight, non-greasy skin feel.
Due to its chemical similarity to natural human sebum, squalane offers superior moisturization, skin barrier repair, hair conditioning, and anti-aging properties without leaving a heavy or sticky residue.
Based on HPLC testing, our material features an assay content of ≥80.00% (typically testing around 80.70%), meeting strict in-house chemical, physical, and microbiological quality standards.
For 1kg orders, it is packaged in inner double plastic bags with an aluminum foil bag and an outer box. For bulk quantities (10kg, 25kg or more), it is packed in standard drums or cartons containing double-layer plastic bags inside.
We offer express courier services (EMS, DHL, UPS, FedEx) with 3-7 days door-to-door transit for smaller parcels, air freight (3-7 days) for medium-to-large shipments, and sea freight (10-35 days) for heavy sea cargo over 100kg.
