Emollient wax ester
What is Jojoba seed oil?
Jojoba seed oil is a liquid wax ester pressed from jojoba seeds, not a triglyceride like most plant oils. Formulators use it as an emollient in the oil phase, and cleansing oils and balms are often built on it. That wax ester structure is also why it resists going rancid longer than most seed oils.
