    Product Description

    Squalane, CAS 111-01-3, is a fully saturated hydrocarbon produced by hydrogenating squalene; the EC/EINECS number is 203-825-6.

    Synonyms: Perhydrosqualene; Hydrogenated Squalene; Hexamethyltetracosane; Cosmetic Squalane.

    CAS: 111-01-3.

    Molecular formula: C₃₀H₆₂.

    Molecular weight: 422.81.

    EC number: 203-825-6.

    Squalane is typically a clear, colorless oily liquid. Confirm appearance, assay and density at a stated temperature against the supplied grade’s TDS and COA.

    Published reference values for squalane include a relative density near 0.81, a refractive index near 1.45 and a melting point near -38 °C. These are reference values, not batch specifications; confirm the exact-grade TDS and SDS, including flash point and test conditions.

    Squalane is insoluble in water and compatible with many cosmetic oils. Check solubility and phase stability in the intended solvent and complete formulation.

    It is used as a lightweight emollient and skin-conditioning agent in facial oils, moisturizers, serums, hair products and lip care.

    Squalane is also used as an emollient in topical pharmaceutical formulations when supported by the appropriate grade documentation. Do not confuse it with squalene (CAS 111-02-4), the unsaturated starting material used to produce squalane.

    It differs from squalene by being the hydrogenated, saturated form; CAS 111-01-3 is more oxidation-stable than squalene CAS 111-02-4.

    Plant-derived and synthetic squalane grades are available. Confirm feedstock origin, traceability, assay and the documents required for the intended cosmetic or pharmaceutical use. Vegan, shark-free or sustainability claims require evidence specific to the supplied material.

    Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight, strong oxidizers and ignition sources. Follow the supplied grade’s TDS and SDS for storage temperature, shelf life and any inert-gas blanketing requirement; do not assume refrigeration is required.

    Confirm the current product-specific specification.

    Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.

    Document requirements should be confirmed from the current specification, SDS, COA or other product-specific files.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      What is Squalane CAS 111-01-3?

      A: Squalane is a fully saturated hydrocarbon produced by hydrogenating squalene. CAS 111-01-3 has the molecular formula C₃₀H₆₂ and a molecular weight of about 422.81 g/mol.
    • Q:

      Why is Squalane used in cosmetics and personal care?

      A: Squalane is used as a lightweight emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It helps improve spreadability, reduce a greasy feel and support the skin barrier, making it suitable for facial oils, moisturizers, serums, hair products and lip care.
    • Q:

      What is the difference between squalane and squalene?

      A: Squalane is the hydrogenated, saturated form of squalene. CAS 111-01-3 is more oxidation-stable than squalene CAS 111-02-4, which is why squalane is preferred for cosmetic formulations with a longer shelf life.
    • Q:

      Does Squalane origin affect cosmetic or regulatory suitability?

      A: Origin affects traceability and source-related claims, but it does not by itself determine cosmetic or pharmaceutical suitability. Both plant-derived and synthetic squalane can be suitable when the exact grade meets the required specifications and documentation. Confirm origin, assay, impurity limits and applicable standards before purchase.
    • Q:

      How should Squalane be stored and handled?

      A: Keep Squalane in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry area away from strong oxidizers and direct sunlight. It is a stable hydrocarbon liquid, but standard liquid-chemical handling and spill containment controls should still be used.
