Squalane for Skin Care and Cosmetic Applications

Product Description

Squalane is a highly stable, skin-compatible lipid that closely mimics the natural oils found in human sebum, making it an essential ingredient in modern skincare and personal care formulations. Known for its excellent moisturizing properties, lightweight texture, and superior skin affinity, Squalane helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve texture, and support long-term skin health.

Viablife’s fermentation-derived Squalane is produced using advanced synthetic biology technology through our proprietary Biolegos platform. Sourced from yeast fermentation, it offers a sustainable, high-purity, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional animal- and plant-derived squalane.

In hair care products, Squalane helps improve hair softness, reduce frizz, and add natural shine without weighing hair down.
