Squalane is a hydrocarbon derived by hydrogenation of squalene. In contrast to squalene, due to the complete saturation of squalane, it is not subject to auto-oxidation. This fact, coupled with lower costs associated with squalane, make it desirable in cosmetics manufacturing, where it is used as an emollient and moisturizer.[3] The hydrogenation of squalene to produce squalane was first reported in 1916.[4][5]

In basic research, squalane is used as a reference liquid in tribology.[6][7]

Source and production

Squalene was traditionally sourced from the livers of sharks, with approximately 3000 required to produce one ton of squalane.[5] Due to environmental concerns, other sources such as olive oil, rice and sugar cane have been commercialized, and as of 2014 have been supplying about 40% of the industry total.[5] In manufacturing, farnesene is produced from fermentation of sugarcane sugars using genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains.[5] Farnesene is then dimerized to isosqualene and then hydrogenated to squalane.[5][8]

Cosmetics use

Squalane was introduced as an emollient in the 1950s.[5] The unsaturated form squalene is produced in human sebum and the livers of sharks.[9][10] Squalane has low acute toxicity and is not a significant human skin irritant or sensitizer.[11][12]
