The seeds from “Simmondsia Chinensis” (Jojoba) hoard this unique, natural, liquid wax with a wonderful mixture of naturally occurring long chained linear esters.

This wax, commonly known as “Jojoba Oil”, has many proven functional cosmetic properties that are far superior to triglycerides, as it is composed of an array of liquid wax esters, with a combination of mixed tocopherols, free sterols and other unsaponifiable material making up the balance required by the skin.

In addition to the obvious chemical difference, jojoba differs from triglyceride seed oils in important functional features. Nearly all triglyceride fats and oils are easily hydrolyzed and oxidized for internal food metabolism. Jojoba, like other wax esters in nature, resists hydrolysis and oxidation for more effective, non-occlusive, moisture control and for photo-protection on the external surfaces of skin, hair, eyes and plant leaves. The chemical composition of this purely botanical derived ingredient is absolutely unique, as it contains little or no glycerine and that most of the component esters fall in the chain-length range of C40-C42.

The only liquid wax produced by Nature, Jojoba Oil is a low acidity light golden fluid, free of rancidity, non volatile, with an outstanding stability.

Jojoba has been shown to be extraordinarily stable in extreme temperatures. It can be heated to 370ºC over a 96 hour period without displaying degradation in general composition and carbon chain length. In addition to thermal stability and of more importance to the cosmetic chemist, jojoba also has unsurpassed oxidative stability, due to its content of Vitamin E (natural tocopherols) and no polyunsaturated components.
