squalane
Squalane can be found in many vegetable oils. It is also found in human sebaceous secretions, as a precursor of cholesterol. In humans, squalane levels peak in our early 20s and then decline very rapidly.
Highly refined squalane from olive demonstrates the most notable squalane characteristic: its ability to completely and rapidly penetrate the skin (it can permeate into the skin at a rate of 2 mm/second). Once absorbed it is doing all manner of helpful things. Squalane is an antioxidant, prevents UV damage and the formation of age spots, promotes cell growth and is an antibacterial. Also it is non-irritant to skin and eyes. Other studies show that certain carcinogenic chemicals are inactivated when exposed to squalane over a period of time.
