Where Is Squalane Found?

Squalane comes from squalene, which can be confusing if you don’t know the difference. Squalene is part of our skin’s own natural moisture. It is also found in a variety of plants and in shark liver. No matter where it comes from, squalene is extremely unstable. When squalene is hydrogenated it converts to skin-friendlier and safer squalane.
Obviously, harvesting squalane from shark livers isn’t something we’re interested in. It isn’t just bad for the shark, but has an overall devastating environmental impact. Another widely used source is from olives. The quality of squalane produced depends on weather and crop growth, and can be unreliable. Both are still major sources of squalane on the market today.
