💎 1. Product Introduction

Squalane is a fully saturated and stable hydrocarbon derived from natural sources, commonly used as a powerful emollient in cosmetics and personal care. Unlike its precursor squalene, squalane is non-oxidizing, odorless, and stable, making it ideal for high-performance skincare formulations.

Chibio Biotech supplies ≥99% pure, food-grade, plant-based Squalane for safe and effective moisturizing in a wide range of cosmetic applications.
