Jojoba oil

Jojoba oil (CAS 61789-91-1), also marketed as jojoba bean oil, is a liquid wax ester extracted from the seeds of Simmondsia chinensis. Unlike conventional triglyceride oils, it functions as a long-chain wax.

This unique structure delivers exceptional oxidative stability and lubrication across personal care and industrial applications. In cosmetics, it acts as a skin-conditioning base and emollient in moisturizers and serums.

Its compatibility with sebum supports consistent formulation performance in hair oils and lip products. Industrial lubricant formulators use it as a high-pressure lubricant and metal cutting fluid additive.

It is particularly valued where biodegradability is a procurement requirement. In coatings and adhesives, it functions as a plasticizing agent and dispersant to improve flexibility and substrate adhesion.

Sealant and elastomer manufacturers incorporate it to extend workability and reduce brittleness in finished compounds. The oil is supplied as a clear to slightly golden liquid with various grades available.

Refined and unrefined grades meet different formulation requirements. Refined grades are standard for cosmetic applications, while cold-pressed material is available for natural and organic product lines.

It is commonly offered in drums and IBC totes for bulk industrial use. Cosmetic-grade material conforms to specifications recognized by major pharmacopeial and industry standards like USP and BP.

The material also meets requirements for EP and Ph.Eur. standards where applicable. This ensures high purity and consistency for global manufacturers across the personal care and chemical sectors.
