Squalane is one of the best emollients on the market, in terms of stability and moisturizing properties. However, it has been progressively neglected by formulators because of its availability issues. Indeed, squalane is mainly sourced from highly controversial shark liver or olive oil, which, due to its interdependence with food oil, is subject to price variability and limited availability.

Soliance has partnered with Amyris, a US company with a strong biotechnology expertise, to develop Renewable Squalane: an alternative solution which delivers a stable, Ecocert and reliable source of squalane for the cosmetics industry, according to the company. Blind-test results have shown that there is no significant difference between olive squalane and Renewable Squalane. It is also easily absorbed by the skin and leaves a non-greasy silky touch. With good emollient and hydration properties, Renewable Squalane is the reliable, Ecocert and sustainable alternative for cosmetic formulas.
