^w^ Squalene, a hydrocarbon found in shark liver oil, is added to cosmetics as a skin rejuvenator and is used in pharmaceuticals that require a non-oily base.

^w^ Shark teeth are used as jewelry, and the jaws and teeth of large sharks are highly prized by collectors.  

^w^ The popularity of shark meat is growing because it is high in protein, low in cholesterol, and usually low in cost.  In the Orient, shark fin soup is a delicacy said to bring health, virility, and good luck.
