Olive Squalane

Olive Squalane is a highly stable, hydrogenated emollient derived from olive oil. It is a clear, odorless, and lightweight oil that mimics the skin’s natural sebum, making it a sought-after ingredient in modern personal care, cosmetic, and home fragrance formulations. Known for its exceptional compatibility with the skin, this ingredient is ideal for developing high-end skincare, body, and hair products.

Its quick absorption and non-greasy finish allow formulators to use it in a variety of oil-based or water-in-oil systems. Olive Squalane plays a central role in the textural profile of both rinse-off and leave-on formulations. It also improves spreadability and provides a luxurious feel, even at low concentrations.

Due to its high purity and excellent shelf stability, Olive Squalane is widely used in formulations targeting sensitive skin, baby care, and fragrance delivery. It can serve as a base or improver in perfumery, especially in fine fragrance or skin contact scents. In candles and home care products, it can function as a carrier or softener for fragrance dispersion.

Offered in HBNO Bulk packaging, Olive Squalane is suitable for contract manufacturers, brand developers, and R&D formulators. It is also available for Private Label services to support turnkey personal care solutions.
