General Description

Tetrahydroxysqualene is a chemical compound that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. It is a derivative of squalene, a natural compound found in the skin's sebum. Tetrahydroxysqualene is an intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway that leads to the production of cholesterol, a vital component of cell membranes and a precursor for the synthesis of steroid hormones. It is also used in cosmetic and skincare products for its moisturizing and skin conditioning properties. Additionally, research has shown that tetrahydroxysqualene may have potential therapeutic applications in the treatment of conditions related to cholesterol metabolism and skin health.
