Squalene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon found in human sebum, deep sea shark liver oil and within some vegetables. Olive Oil is the richest vegetable-based source of squalene available.
Olive Squalane is produced by hydrogenating Olive Squalene. This leads to a clear and odorless product with more stable shelf life than Squalene (please notice the subtle difference in the spelling of these two products).
Olive Squalane has a natural affinity for the skin and acts as an effective emollient and skin soothing agent.
