Types of squalane
Shark extracted squalane: The earliest squalane, squalene extracted from the liver of sharks after hydrogenation. However, only one ton of squalane can be produced for every 3,000 sharks, which is far from enough to meet human demand. In addition, the large-scale killing of sharks has caused great damage to the natural Marine ecosystem. The European Union has banned the use of animal-produced squalane as a cosmetic ingredient after protests from animal protection groups in various countries.
Plant squalane: Squalene is also found in many plants, and olive oil is a relatively high oil component. Now on the market, many squalanes are extracted from olive oil and then hydrogenated, known as plant squalane. There is also squalane derived from other vegetable oils. Most of the squalane used in cosmetics in the European Union is plant squalane. Plant squalane and animal squalane have similar skin care effects, but there is no damage to Marine ecological resources. The price of vegetable squalane is cheaper, but it is still relatively expensive overall.
Synthetic squalane: In order to meet the demand of the squalane market and to find cheaper raw materials, it is now possible to synthesize raw materials with similar properties of squalane through chemical processes, such as hydrogenated polyisobutene. Hydrogenated polyisobutylene is a synthetic polymer that has moisturizing, moisturizing, and lubricating properties similar to natural squalane, but is much cheaper. Mainly used in lipstick, cream and so on.
