Jojoba Esters

Jojoba Esters Description

Complex mixture of esters from jojoba oil and hydrogenated jojoba oil. The result is an ingredient that can vary from a liquid to a wax. Many jojoba esters function as excellent emollients and occlusive agents for skin, especially when used with glycerin.

High molecular weight jojoba esters have other uses, too. For example, the rounded jojoba esters work as gentle beads sometimes used in facial scrubs. These beads are available in various sizes, with the smaller beads being preferred when the goal is creating a gentle, non-abrasive scrub.
