Squalane is an emollient derived from the unsaponifiable fraction (olive triglycerides) of olive oil. It is a colourless liquid with an odourless odour. It originated in Italy and France.
Squalane is a stable form of olive oil squalene that has been hydrogenated to prevent oxidation. Squalene is naturally present in human skin's sebum and is thought to lubricate and protect it.
