SQUALANE Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- Perhydrosqualene
- Tetracosane, 2,6,10,15,19,23-Hexamethyl-
SQUALANE is a saturated hydrocarbon emollient offered for Malaysian cosmetic, personal-care, toiletry, fragrance and formulation enquiries. Identified by CAS 111-01-3, it is generally a clear, colourless oily liquid used where a stable, low-odour oil-phase ingredient is required.
Commercial options include cosmetic and personal-care grade, high-purity formulation grade and laboratory or reagent grade. Buyers may compare purity, colour, odour, acid value, peroxide value, refractive index, specific gravity and source criteria when selecting material for a formulation.
Squalane is used in creams, lotions, facial serums, cleansers, colour cosmetics, lip products, hair care, toiletries and fragrance systems as an emollient, skin-conditioning ingredient or carrier. It is distinct from squalene: squalane is saturated, while squalene contains unsaturation and is handled as a separate product.

SQUALANE applications
Common questions about SQUALANE
What is squalane used for?
Squalane is used mainly as an emollient, skin-conditioning ingredient and oil-phase carrier in creams, lotions, serums, cleansers, colour cosmetics, lip products, hair care, toiletries and fragrance formulations.
Is squalane the same as squalene?
No. Squalane is the saturated hydrocarbon obtained by hydrogenating squalene, while squalene is an unsaturated compound. They have different chemical formulas and oxidation behaviour and should be ordered as separate materials.
Which squalane grade should a formulator specify?
State whether the requirement is for cosmetic and personal-care, high-purity formulation, or laboratory use. Include limits for purity, colour, odour, acid value, peroxide value and any relevant physical-property parameters.
Can plant-derived squalane be requested?
Yes. Plant-derived and other source-defined squalane options exist in the market. State the required source criteria and supporting documentation with the enquiry so the applicable material can be assessed and quoted.
What information is needed for a squalane quotation in Malaysia?
Send the grade, specification, source criteria, quantity, application, packing preference, documentation requirements and delivery location. Availability, packing, documentation, timing and price are confirmed with the quotation.
