Concern level

High concern

A jojoba-derived butter/waxy emollient composed primarily of jojoba seed wax and/or hydrogenated jojoba fractions. It functions as an occlusive-emollient barrier support ingredient, improving slip, softness, and moisture retention in balms, creams, and body butters. Jojoba materials are generally well tolerated and are widely used in cosmetics.
