Squalene is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon and triterpene found in large quantities in shark liver oil, as well as in smaller amounts in olive oil, wheat germ oil, and the human body. It serves as a biochemical precursor to cholesterol and other sterols, playing a crucial role in the biosynthesis of these essential molecules. Squalene is known for its antioxidant properties and is widely used in cosmetics, skincare products, and pharmaceuticals for its moisturizing and skin-protective benefits. Additionally, it has potential applications in vaccine adjuvants and other therapeutic formulations.
