Jojoba Esters
Jojoba Esters are a complex mixture of wax esters (fatty acid + fatty alcohol) produced by the transesterification or interesterification of jojoba oil, hydrogenated jojoba oil, or a mixture of the two. They exist in multiple versions with variable fatty acid chain lengths, resulting in textures ranging from liquid to creamy, soft or firm paste, or hard wax. Unlike most triglyceride oils, jojoba esters are chemically distinct and are derived specifically through the interesterification process rather than being pure jojoba oil.
Jojoba Esters provide non-greasy emolliency and are readily absorbed into the skin, leaving it feeling smooth. They offer superior stability compared to most conventional triglyceride oils. The ingredient also functions as a skin conditioner, moisturiser, and soothing agent according to CosIng.
