Olive squalane (often spelled "squalene" when referring to the natural compound, but "squalane" when it's the hydrogenated version used in cosmetics) is a popular ingredient in skincare products due to its moisturizing, nourishing, and antioxidant properties.

Squalane is derived from squalene, a natural lipid that is found in human skin and also in various plant sources, such as olives. However, since squalene can be unstable, it is typically hydrogenated to form squalane, which is more stable and safe for cosmetic use.
