I have always wondered why one supplier sells Olive Squalane and some spell it Squalene and some spell it Squalane. I wanted to offer it in the Oil Co-Op we were doing but someone pointed out that the sage sold it for less. So I asked Mike at Soapers Choice, who has been making CP for 11 years. He told me the answer but said, don't take my word for it, google it, so I did and thought you all would find this interesting, though maybe most of you knew this already. Soapers Choice - Spells it Squalane MMS - Spells it Squalene Squalene vs. Squalane Squalene (spelled with an "e") is an oil extracted from the liver of deep-water sharks. It helps increase immunity, prevent chronic illnesses, fight cancer and aging and helps strengthen the skin. Squalene works by releasing oxygen into the cells of the body, helping to prevent cell deterioration. Squalane has long been used in cosmetic preparations to soften skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and as a bactericidal agent which speeds wound healing. Squalane (spelled with an "a") has, essentially, the SAME chemical components, however, in vegan form, as extracted from olives. It is frequently (and incorrectly) referred to as squalene, when in fact, it has no shark liver oil components.
