Jojoba Esters

moisturising skin protecting anti-wrinkle hydration

overview

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin that helps to keep it hydrated and plump. Jojoba esters are emollient wax esters derived from jojoba oil. They are made through an interesterification process where the fatty acid and fatty alcohols rearrange themselves to form a new "oil-free" product that is virtually identical to the original jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is a wax that is similar to the natural oils produced by the skin. It is used in cosmetics as an emollient and moisturizer. Jojoba esters are derived from jojoba oil and have similar properties to jojoba oil, including being non-comedogenic and having a long shelf life. Jojoba oil is also known for its ability to control hair loss, relieve dandruff, and relieve scalp psoriasis.

additional info

Jojoba esters are biodegradable and made from renewable resources. Jojoba esters are made from 100% pure natural Jojoba through an interesterification process. Jojoba esters are transparent, oil-free liquids that can be used to provide non-greasy emolliency and a smooth, non-oily feel to the skin. Jojoba esters are high affinity with skin lipids for great emolliency. Jojoba esters can be used in 'oil-free' products. Jojoba esters are used in anti-aging creams, face and body creams, eye serums, lip balms and glosses, and body butters and balms. Jojoba esters are not soluble in water but soluble in oil and organic solvents. Jojoba esters have a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture, typically 1 year from the date of purchase. Jojoba oil is also known for its ability to control hair loss, relieve dandruff, and relieve scalp psoriasis.
