Jojoba Oil
Select sizeThe plant
The named oil comes from the seeds of Simmondsia chinensis.
What's in it
Wax esters—natural compounds that make it a liquid wax contribute to the ingredient’s texture.
Wax esters
Around ninety-seven per cent. Long-chain alcohols bonded to fatty acids.
Triglycerides
Essentially absent — which is why it is not a true oil.
Tocopherols
Natural vitamin E, contributing to its stability.
Eicosenoic acid
The dominant fatty acid component of the esters.
How it works
Softening care: As a cosmetic emollient, the named oil can smooth the feel of dry skin. Emollient means a substance that softens and smooths the surface. Hair finish: A suitable oil preparation can coat the hair shaft, improving slip and adding a conditioned appearance.
