OXFORD, Conn.—Natural Sourcing introduced Squalene, an unsaturated hydrocarbon typically found in human sebum and deep sea shark liver oil. It has a natural affinity for the skin and acts as a natural emollient and skin soothing agent. Squalene is a precursor to the production of important lipids and is a key component in the maintenance of youthful skin.
Olive oil is the richest vegetable-based source of squalene. Our Vegetable Squalene is derived from the oil of freshly pressed olives. Vegetable Squalene is said to help hydrate and protect the skin, fight wrinkle formation, encourage regeneration of healthy skin cells and prevent premature aging of the skin. It is also believed to be an essential ingredient in formulations for eczema and psoriasis where relief from dry, itchy and damaged skin is needed.
