Concern level

High concern

A liquid wax ester from jojoba seeds that functions primarily as an emollient, occlusive-supporting skin conditioner, and carrier oil. Chemically, jojoba oil is unusual among plant oils because it is composed largely of long-chain wax esters rather than triglycerides, which gives it good oxidative stability and a skin-feel similar to sebum.
