Shark liver oil

Shark liver oil (CAS 68990-63-6) is a marine-derived lipid extracted from the livers of deep-sea sharks, naturally concentrated in alkylglycerols, squalene, and omega fatty acids.

It functions as a bioactive ingredient and emollient across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic manufacturing. In dietary supplement production, it is encapsulated for immune support.

Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into skin creams, serums, and lip care products where its moisturizing profile supports barrier function and skin conditioning claims for high-end beauty brands.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a carrier lipid and active component in softgel capsules and topical preparations. In wound care, it is selected for its role as a stabilizing agent.

Shark liver oil is supplied as a pale yellow to amber liquid oil, typically in bulk drums or intermediate bulk containers suited to industrial processing and large-scale manufacturing needs.

Standard grades include food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade material, with specifications aligned to FCC and USP requirements depending on the intended application and market.

Standardized grades defined by squalene or alkylglycerol content are available for formulators requiring consistent potency in finished products. This ensures reliability across production batches.
