Frequently Asked Questions
Q What is squalane and where does it come from?
Squalane is a saturated hydrocarbon derived from squalene, which is naturally found in plant sources such as olive oil, sugarcane, and amaranth seed. It is a stable, non-reactive form of squalene widely used in cosmetic formulations.
Q Is squalane suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Yes. Squalane closely mimics the skin's natural sebum, making it non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and acne-prone skin, without clogging pores or causing irritation.
Q What is the recommended usage level of squalane in cosmetic formulations?
Squalane can be used at various concentrations depending on the product type, typically ranging from 1% to 100% in leave-on formulations. It can be incorporated into serums, creams, oils, and makeup products based on the desired texture and efficacy.
Q How should squalane be stored to maintain its quality?
Squalane should be stored in a sealed container, placed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Proper storage ensures the product maintains its clarity, purity, and performance over time.
Q Can squalane be used in both rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic products?
Yes. Squalane is highly versatile and can be incorporated into both rinse-off formulations such as hair masks and body washes, as well as leave-on products including serums, creams, facial oils, and makeup primers.
Q What is the packaging available for squalane?
Squalane is standardly packaged in 180kg drums designed to ensure product integrity and long-term shelf stability during transport and storage.
