Olive Squalene

Squalene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon found in human sebum, deep sea shark liver oil and within some vegetables. Olive Oil is the richest vegetable-based source of squalene available.

Olive Squalene is produced by the esterification and distillation of olive fatty acids.

Olive Squalene has a natural affinity for the skin and acts as effective emollient and skin soothing agents.

In addition to Olive Squalene, we also offer Olive Squalane (please notice the subtle difference in the spelling of these two products). Squalene is a more affordable alternative that is well suited for products with shorter shelf lives and where slight color and aroma do not detract from the finished product. Olive Squalane is best suited for applications in which a clear and odor-free product are most desirable or for products requiring greater stability and shelf life.
