Jojoba Wax is a natural, golden-yellow to amber-colored wax ester extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Unlike traditional vegetable oils, jojoba wax is chemically a liquid wax, known for its excellent stability, moisturizing properties, and similarity to human sebum. It is odorless or mildly nutty and is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical applications as an emollient, thickener, and skin conditioning agent.
