Squalane is applied in various analytical and synthetic procedures as a non-toxic, odourless hydrocarbon derived from shark liver oil. Its molecular formula is C30H62, with a molecular weight of 422.8. Squalane is a long-chain saturated alkane, structurally related to triglycerides found in human sebum. It requires careful handling due to its flammability and potential for skin irritation. Squalane is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products for its moisturising properties and ability to mimic the skin's natural oils.
