HYDROLYZED JOJOBA ESTERS
Hydrolyzed jojoba esters are derived from jojoba oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). It is an excellent moisturizer and, when combined with glycerin, provides moisture for at least 24 hours. (1-2)
Due to its chemical similarity to human sebum, it supports the skin's natural balance, forms a non-greasy film to retain moisture, and regulates sebum production without clogging the pores.
