Description

3,7,12,16,20,24-Hexamethyl-1-[(1R)-2,6,6-Trimethyl-1-Cyclohex-2-Enyl]Pentacosa-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,23-Undecaene is a high-purity, long-chain isoprenoid compound, also known as all-trans-Squalene. This natural hydrocarbon is a critical biosynthetic precursor and a valuable material prized for its excellent emollient and carrier properties. It serves as a key intermediate and functional ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, high-end cosmetics, and nutraceutical industries. Our supply is characterized by consistent quality and reliable global availability.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A vital precursor in the commercial synthesis of cholesterol, steroid hormones, and vitamin D.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Used as a superior emollient, moisturizer, and carrier oil in skin creams, lotions, and lipsticks due to its excellent skin compatibility and non-greasy feel.
• Vaccine Adjuvant Production: Serves as a key component in the manufacture of certain oil-in-water emulsion adjuvants (e.g., MF59) to enhance immune response.
• Dietary Supplement & Nutraceuticals: Incorporated into supplements for its purported antioxidant properties and as a source for endogenous cholesterol synthesis.
• High-Performance Lubricants: Used in specialized, low-volatility lubricant formulations for precision instruments and aerospace applications.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical research as a standard or substrate in studies of lipid metabolism, sterol biosynthesis, and membrane biology.

Quality Control

Our Squalene is produced and tested under a strict quality management system to ensure it meets the exacting requirements of our global B2B clients. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We can supply grades suitable for various applications, including those aligned with pharmaceutical (USP/EP) and cosmetic standards, with full traceability and documentation support.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, containers should be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize headspace and exposure to air.
