Product Details

Products Description

Squalene is a natural organic compound belonging to a type of terpenoids. It is widely found in the tissues of many plants and animals, including shark liver oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, human skin, etc. Squalene has multiple functions and effects in living organisms:

Products Application

Maintain skin health

Squalene plays an important role in human skin, it is one of the natural components of the skin. It helps keep the skin hydrated, reduces water loss, and creates a protective barrier that helps prevent damage to the skin from the external environment.

Antioxidant effect

Squalene has antioxidant properties that can help neutralize free radicals and reduce damage to cells caused by oxidative stress. This helps protect cells from oxidation and aging.

Immune Support

Squalene plays a certain role in the immune system, which can enhance the activity of immune cells and improve the body's resistance to pathogens.

Nutritional Supplements

Due to its presence in plant and animal tissues, some health supplements and nutraceuticals may have added squalene to provide its benefits.

Difference

The difference between plant-derived squalene and animal-derived squalene:

Sources: Plant sources of squalene are mainly found in vegetable oils, such as olive oil and rice bran oil. They are obtained from the seeds, fruits or outer tissues of plants. The animal source of squalene is mainly found in shark liver oil, which is usually obtained by extracting the oil from shark liver.
Chemical structure: From the chemical structure point of view, the basic structure of plant-derived squalene and animal-derived squalene is the same. They all belong to terpenoids and have similar carbon skeleton structures. However, due to differences in the biological systems of plants and animals, their specific chemical structures may vary slightly.
Content: The content of plant-derived squalene and animal-derived squalene may vary depending on the source and extraction method. In general, vegetable oils are relatively low in squalene, while shark liver oil is relatively high in squalene.
