EmpressC Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've noticed a difference in price for sure! Squalene seems to be much cheaper than Squalane. But I haven't found what the differences are between the two. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Squalene is a natural organic compond originally obtained for commercial purposes primarily from shark liver oil, though there are botanic sources as well, including amaranth seed, rice bran, wheat germ, and olives. Squalane:: A refined moisturizing oil derived from the olive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Ragdoll Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Squalene is prone to oxidation, so it is hydrogenated to extend shelf life which then becomes Squalane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressC Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Ahhh, I see. So squalane is simply refined squalene.It sounds like squalane is what I want then...but DARN it's expensive!!!Thanx for the replies! :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
