About this ingredient

Hydrolyzed jojoba esters are enzymatically or chemically broken-down derivatives of jojoba oil with reduced molecular weight, functioning as lightweight emollients and skin conditioners in cosmetic formulations. They provide hydration and improve skin barrier function while mimicking the composition of natural skin sebum, offering a smooth sensory profile without the heaviness of intact jojoba oil.
