Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis seed oil) is a unique, multifunctional carrier widely used in cosmetic formulation, aromatherapy, and natural perfumery. Although commonly referred to as an oil, jojoba is technically a liquid wax ester, making it structurally closer to human sebum than conventional vegetable oils. Jojoba oil is a gold-standard carrier oil valued for its stability, skin affinity, and versatility. Its ability to safely and effectively carry essential oils and CO₂ extracts—without altering their aromatic or functional profiles—makes jojoba an indispensable ingredient in professional cosmetic and aromatherapy formulation.
Properties of Jojoba Seed Oil
- Non-comedogenic (comedogenic index: 0).
- Highly stable against oxidation.
- Excellent skin compatibility.
- Lightweight, non-greasy skin feel.
- Odor-neutral, ideal for aromatics.
- Long shelf life (typically 5 years).
- Unlike triglyceride-based oils, jojoba does not readily oxidize or go rancid, which contributes to its exceptional stability in finished formulations.
