Squalane
Description Squalane, a hydrogenated derivative of squalene, is widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient due to its excellent emollient properties and stability. It is a saturated hydrocarbon that serves as a non-greasy, non-irritating moisturizing agent, making it ideal for topical formulations such as creams, lotions, and ointments. In pharmaceuticals, squalane enhances the delivery of active ingredients by improving their solubility and penetration through the lipid layers of the skin, facilitating more effective treatment outcomes. Its biocompatibility and inert nature reduce the risk of adverse reactions, making it suitable for sensitive skin and various dermatological applications. In addition, its stability against oxidation supports a longer shelf-life for pharmaceutical products it is incorporated into, thus maintaining efficacy and safety over time.
