Squalane Oil is a saturated form of Squalene. Our body and numerous plant and animal species produce Squalene. Now, take note of the spellings – Squalane (with an A) and Squalene (With an E). What’s the difference? Here we go –
Squalane Vs. Squalene
Squalane (ready for use on the skin) is a saturated lipid that is produced when Squalene (raw version, can not be used on skin) is hydrogenated (combined with hydrogen) Squalene is very reactive and will oxidize quickly. However, once Squalene is hydrogenated into Squalane, it becomes very stable and is therefore used in body and hair oils. Squalane is very moisturizing, light, and absorbs quickly into the skin. Squalene is found in Olives, Wheat germ, Rice Bran, Sugarcane.
