What is Squalane?
Emollient oil
Squalane is a saturated hydrocarbon oil, made today mostly from sugarcane or olive. Formulators use it as an emollient, the part of a formula that stays on the surface and gives a texture its slip. Because it is saturated it does not go rancid the way many plant oils do, so it works in products meant to sit on a shelf for a long time.
What can you expect from it?
An oil that leaves skin smooth and soft.
What won't it do?
Claims you often see, and what is actually true.
It isn't the same as your skin's own oil.
Squalane is what your skin already makes, or restores your skin's own lipid
It isn't proven to hydrate on its own.
Squalane hydrates skin or reduces water loss, with clinical proof
It isn't shown to fight aging on skin.
Squalane is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory or antiaging active
It won't smooth wrinkles by itself.
Squalane itself smooths wrinkles
It doesn't push actives deeper.
Squalane drives actives deeper into skin
It isn't proven non-comedogenic.
Squalane is non-comedogenic, or has a specific comedogenicity rating

no supporting source foundWe also confirmed changes to the skin barrier weakened by dryness. The skin barrier damaged by physical irritation improved by 57.58% compared to the control group, and also improved by 50.32% when compared to the existing panthenol cream.

Sources
We summarized the published studies and public records listed below, each with its DOI or PubMed number. Findings about treating medical conditions are outside what a cosmetics page covers, so we left them out.
What can you expect from it?
An oil that leaves skin smooth and soft.
Squalane sits in a moisturizer already on sale as the ingredient that smooths and softens. But that trial tested the whole multi ingredient product, so it says nothing about squalane's own share.
A comparison of one multi ingredient moisturizer against another, with squalane present in both arms.
Squalane appears as the emollient component of a marketed moisturizer whose full formula (occlusive dimethicone; humectants glycerin, saccharide, butylene glycol and hyaluronic acid; emollients shea butter and squalane) was tested clinically.
What won't it do?
It isn't the same as your skin's own oil.
What skin itself makes is squalene, and squalane is that molecule altered so it keeps. It is chosen for cosmetics precisely because it is not the form skin makes, so identical to your own oil does not hold.
Not a test result but a difference in chemistry: the molecule making up 13% of skin's own surface oil is squalene.
Contradicted by the chemistry in the record.
The molecule present in human sebum at 13% is squalene, the polyunsaturated compound, and squalane is its saturated derivative.
It isn't proven to hydrate on its own.
The hydrating line comes from a review that counts squalene and squalane as one and rests on animals and on work outside skin. The one human trial here tested whole multi ingredient products, so no squalane specific water gain can be pulled out of it.
No study here measured skin water, or how much water escapes through skin, with squalane as the only thing varied.
The one review that reports skin hydrating activity attributes it to squalene and squalane together and places the evidence in animal models and in vitro environments, which is not a human skin claim.
It isn't shown to fight aging on skin.
Those results came from cultured cells in a dish rather than from skin, at concentrations used for cell work. They were read in cells exposed to UVA, so they do not carry over to skin someone applied it to.
Cultured cells taken from the deeper layer of skin rather than skin itself, at 0.005 to 0.015%.
These findings exist but are in cultured cells.
It won't smooth wrinkles by itself.
In the wrinkle trial the squalane cream was the comparison arm, and the cream with an added active did better than it at week 8. Squalane was the side that lost, not the side that won.
An 8 week trial in 23 women with one cream on each side of the face, nobody involved knowing which side was which.
Positively anchored against.
In an 8 week randomized, matched pair, double blind split face trial in 23 Japanese women, squalane blended cream was the placebo arm, and the fullerene-C60 in squalane cream was significantly more effective than that placebo at week 8.
It doesn't push actives deeper.
Adding squalane lowered how much of the compounds formulated with it passed through skin. It holds them in the skin rather than pushing them deeper.
One study on human skin outside the body, measuring how much passed through the skin from an emulsion placed on it.
Contradicted in the one delivery study located.
Adding squalane lowered the permeability coefficients of every polyphenol measured, increasing skin retention rather than transdermal passage.
It isn't proven non-comedogenic.
No study was found on whether squalane blocks pores. The ratings that circulate widely trace back to nothing in this record, so they are not repeated.
The searches turned up only one unrelated 1974 rat paper.
No evidence located.
Widely circulated comedogenic ratings are not traceable to any source in this corpus and are not repeated here.
