Benefits of Squalane

The benefits of squalane, a natural oil, are impressive. Squalane is an oil that comes from many sources, including plants and animals. It is an analog of squalene, which is also found in nature, but because of the chemical structure squalane it is more commonly used in cosmetic applications. Squalane is similar to the natural oils found in our bodies. This means that it is easily and completely absorbed by our skin and it doesn't leave a greasy film behind.

Well-Known Benefits of Squalane

Fishermen and their families have long known the benefits of squalane, even if they didn't always know the mechanism. They would often use the oil of shark livers, which is a great source of squalane, as an emollient for their skin. They knew that the oil provided protection against the sun as well as bactericidal and fungicidal benefits.

Because squalane is so easily absorbed by our skin it is a useful ingredient in cosmetic emollients and moisturizers. Many cosmetic manufacturers know this and take advantage of the benefits of squalane by using 3-5% of it in their common moisturizers. At Oceana we provide pure squalane for your benefit.
