Squalene is a naturally occurring unsaturated liquid hydrocarbon commonly obtained from plants, such as olives, palm oil and wheat germ, and shark liver oil. It is commonly used as an intermediate for the biosynthesis of cholesterol and can also be artificially synthesized using yeast. Squalene is widely utilized in the manufacturing of health foods, vaccines, cosmetics, personal care products, nutraceuticals and high-grade machine lubricants. It acts as a chemo-preventive agent and antioxidant, which aids in restoring the immune system and increasing the production of collagen in skin cells.
