We know that wizarding potions and charmed goods work on Muggles - witness Dudley with the ton-tongue toffee, or hermione's present to her parents of the toothflossing stringmints - and at some point, there is a mention of FIlch using a Mrs
Scour's cleaning potion, so they certainly can be used by muggles & squibs. Whether a muggle or squib could create things from the ingredients is still up in the air.
