About this ingredient

Jojoba esters are synthetic esters created through the esterification of jojoba oil, offering improved stability and oxidative resistance compared to natural jojoba oil. They function as lightweight emollients and skin conditioning agents that provide moisturization, enhance spreadability, and improve product texture without a greasy feel. These esters are particularly valued in skincare and sunscreen formulations for their non-comedogenic profile and excellent skin compatibility.
