Jojoba ester

Jojoba esters are the hydrogenation or transesterification product of Jojoba oil.[1] Jojoba Esters are commonly used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient, due to its remarkable similarity to the natural oils produced by the human skin, and its high oxidative stability. Fully hydrogenated jojoba esters are most often small beads used to exfoliate the skin.
