Description

FSS Amaranthus Squalane is a high-performance, plant-based emollient derived from the lipid-rich seed oil of Amaranthus, a resilient and culturally significant plant revered since ancient times. With up to 8% squalene in its lipid fraction, amaranthus seeds offer one of the richest known botanical sources — making this squalane a powerful replacement for traditional shark or olive-based variants. Through catalytic hydrogenation, the unstable squalene is converted into stable, non-oxidizing squalane (C₃₀H₆₂). It mimics the skin’s natural sebum, restores moisture, improves texture, and supports barrier function — all while providing a clean, cruelty-free alternative.

MADE OF:

Derived from the seeds of Amaranthus, a drought-resistant crop once cherished by ancient civilizations, ABS Amaranthus Squalane is rich in unsaturated lipids and highly concentrated in natural squalene, making it a sustainable source for producing high-quality, stable squalane. This lightweight emollient is biologically compatible with human skin and can be seamlessly incorporated into a wide range of personal care products.

Why It’s Perfect for You:

Formulators seeking a plant-powered alternative to olive- or animal-derived squalane will find FSS Amaranthus Squalane to be an exceptional choice. Its high squalene content, oxidative stability, and luxurious skin feel make it a hero ingredient for hydration-focused, sustainable, and clean beauty formulations from serums and face oils to shampoos and BB creams.
