Cosmetics Grade Squalane Market Research Report 2024 to 2030 (Status and Outlook)

In Business Insights
June 20, 2025

The global Cosmetics Grade Squalane Market continues to exhibit robust expansion, with valuation reaching US$156 million in 2024 and projected to grow at 7.0% CAGR to US$234 million by 2030. This growth trajectory reflects the material’s rising adoption across premium skincare formulations, where its superior moisturizing properties and bio-compatibility align with evolving consumer preferences for clean, sustainable beauty solutions.

Cosmetics grade squalane has become indispensable in high-performance skincare, valued for its exceptional stability and ability to improve product spreadability. Unlike conventional emollients, pharmaceutical-grade squalane offers non-comedogenic benefits without triggering allergic reactions, making it particularly valuable in anti-aging and sensitive skin formulations. The market’s momentum is further amplified by beauty brands reformulating with plant-derived alternatives to meet vegan certification requirements.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis

North America commands 35% of global demand, spearheaded by the U.S. market’s projected growth to US$65 million by 2030, driven by celebrity skincare lines and clinical dermatology endorsements. Europe follows closely, where French and German cosmetics giants are incorporating squalane into luxury skincare ranges, benefiting from the region’s stringent regulations favoring bio-based ingredients.

Asia-Pacific emerges as the fastest-growing region, with plant-derived squalane formulations gaining traction in K-beauty and J-beauty innovations. China’s domestic production capacity has tripled since 2020, though Japanese manufacturers continue to lead in purity standards. Emerging markets in Latin America show particular appetite for multifunctional facial oils incorporating squalane as a key active.

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

The market’s expansion is propelled by three fundamental shifts: the clean beauty movement’s rejection of silicones, rising demand for pregnancy-safe skincare, and dermatologists’ increasing recommendation of squalane for compromised skin barriers. Premium skincare accounts for 62% of applications, while suncare products utilizing squalane’s UV-stabilizing properties represent the fastest-growing segment.

Emerging opportunities lie in molecular encapsulation technologies that enhance squalane’s active delivery and combination with CBD/hyaluronic acid in next-generation serums. The professional aesthetics sector presents untapped potential, particularly in post-procedure skincare protocols where squalane’s healing properties shine.

Challenges & Restraints

Supply chain complexities for plant-derived feedstock and inconsistent regional regulations present ongoing challenges. The market faces pricing pressures from synthetic alternatives, though consumer preference for natural ingredients maintains premium positioning. Some formulators report texture-modification hurdles when incorporating high squalane concentrations, requiring additional emulsion expertise.
