Discover the Skincare Power of Squalane: Nature's Elixir for Radiant Skin

Unlock the secret to hydrated, youthful, and resilient skin with Tianjin YR Chemspec's premium plant-derived Squalane.

In the evolving world of skincare, few ingredients have garnered as much acclaim and scientific backing as Squalane. This versatile, bio-compatible molecule is celebrated for its exceptional moisturizing, antioxidant, and healing properties.

As a leader in chemical innovation, Tianjin YR Chemspec Technology Co., Ltd. is proud to offer high-purity Squalane, empowering brands to create transformative skincare solutions. Here's why Squalane should be your next star ingredient.

What Is Squalane?
Squalane (C₃₀H₆₂) is a hydrogenated and stabilized derivative of Squalene (C₃₀H₅₀)—a natural compound originally found in deep-sea shark liver and now ethically sourced from plants like olive oil or sugar cane .

Unlike its unsaturated precursor Squalene, which is prone to oxidation, Squalane is a saturated hydrocarbon with superior stability, longer shelf life, and identical skin benefits . Its molecular structure closely mirrors that of human sebum, making it intensely compatible and non-irritating .

Key Benefits of Squalane：
🌿 Deep Hydration & Barrier Repair
Squalane excels in reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by up to 27% even at low concentrations (0.05%) . It integrates seamlessly into the skin's lipid matrix, reinforcing the natural barrier and preventing moisture escape—especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin .

🌿 Antioxidant & Anti-Aging Effects
Though not a direct antioxidant itself, Squalane boosts the efficacy of antioxidants like Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10. When paired with astaxanthin, it enhances oxidative defense by 1.8 times . It also supports skin elasticity, reduces wrinkles, and promotes basal cell regeneration for a firmer, youthful complexion .

🌿 Soothes & Calms Inflammation
Clinical studies demonstrate that Squalane significantly reduces redness and irritation by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α). It’s shown to reduce rosacea-related erythema by 34%, making it ideal for soothing sensitive or reactive skin .

🌿 Improves Texture & Tone
With its lightweight, non-greasy texture (viscosity: 5.8 mPa·s), Squalane delivers hydration without clogging pores. It enhances spreadability and slip in formulations, giving products a silky, elegant feel . It also assists in penetrating other active ingredients like retinol and peptides, increasing their absorption by 15-30% .

Applications in Skincare & Cosmetics：
🌿Squalane's stability and multifunctionality make it a favorite across product categories:

🌿Serums & Creams: Adds moisture and supports barrier repair when combined with ceramides .

🌿Anti-Aging Products: Buffers irritants like retinol while improving efficacy .

🌿Sunscreens & Primers: Improves spreadability and reduces whitening effect .

🌿Lip Products: Repairs cracked lips when blended with lanolin .

🌿Color Cosmetics: Enh pigment dispersion and smooth application .

Join the Squalane Revolution：
Squalane isn't just a trend—it’s a versatile, evidence-backed ingredient that addresses modern skincare needs: from barrier support and anti-aging to sustainability and biocompatibility.
