What is Squalene ?
Since squalene was discovered by the Japanese chemist Dr. Honmitsumaru in 1906, it has attracted the interest of researchers at home and abroad because of its good biological activity and wide application in food and cosmetics

1.Promote skin health
In addition to antioxidants, squalene (and its derivatives squalane) also has moisturizing and moisturizing properties.
2.Used in cosmetics
Squalene is readily emulsified in standard cosmetic formulations such as cream, ointment, sunscreen, and therefore can be used as a moisturizer in creams (cold creams, cleansing creams, moisturizers), lotions, hair oils, hair creams, lipbalms, aromatic oils and powders, as well as acting as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger. In addition, squalene can also be used as a high fat agent in high-grade soap
Squalene is widely found in animals, plants and microorganisms. Because of its strong biological activity, squalene is widely used in food and cosmetics industries. However, squalene has not been clearly included in the national standards of food additives, and due to its shortcomings such as easy oxidation and poor water solubility, its application in food, cosmetics and other industries is greatly limited. Although some scholars have improved the bioavailability of squalene by making it into microcapsules, the improvement of water solubility is not ideal, and there are few reports on the use of cyclodextrin embedding to improve its stability. Therefore, there is still much room for research on the conditions and mechanism of cyclodextrin-embedding squalene
