What is Squalane Oil

Squalane oil is often used in beauty and skin care products to help heal burns, wrinkles and skin discoloration. Sometimes called squalene, it is a substance found in shark liver, rice bran, olives, wheat germ, and some vegetable oils.

This oil is rich in antioxidants and can be consumed orally to increase the amount of oxygen carried by the blood in the body.
