Description

Squalane NF

Squalane NF is a high-purity, saturated hydrocarbon derived from squalene, used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications as an emollient, moisturizer, and carrier oil. Compliant with National Formulary (NF) standards, it provides excellent oxidative stability, non-greasy texture, and compatibility with a wide range of formulation types. Squalane
• Is a NF-compliant saturated hydrocarbon for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical use
• Is used as an emollient, moisturizer, and carrier oil in topical formulations
• Supports skin hydration, texture enhancement, and ingredient delivery
• Is a non-greasy, odorless, and chemically stable across formulation systems
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Squalane NF is chemically designated as C30H62, a fully saturated derivative of the naturally occurring squalene. It appears as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with excellent solubility in oils and compatibility with cosmetic and pharmaceutical excipients.
In pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications, Squalane NF is used in:
• Topical creams, lotions, serums, and ointments for hydration and emollience
• Lipid-based carrier systems for active pharmaceutical and cosmetic ingredients
• Nutraceutical oil formulations and softgel capsules
• Personal care products including facial oils, sunscreens, and massage oils
• Research and development of skin-conditioning and moisturizing formulations
Squalane NF provides oxidative stability, reduces the risk of rancidity, and enhances the sensory profile of formulations. Its biocompatibility and non-irritating nature make it suitable for sensitive skin and pharmaceutical topical applications.
CarboMer supplies Squalane NF with control over assay, peroxide value, moisture content, and purity. Material meets NF monograph standards and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (IR, GC), assay, peroxide value, moisture content, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer functional oils and excipients, Squalane NF is supported by formulation guidance, regulatory expertise, and reliable global supply to ensure safe, effective, and high-quality product performance.
