jojoba oil

Jojoba Oil is the liquid wax produced in the seed of the Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) plant. Chemical Structure: Jojoba oil is a straight chain wax ester, 36 to 46 carbon atoms in length. Each molecule consists of a fatty acid and a fatty alcohol joined by an ester bond. Each molecule has two points of cis-unsaturation, both located at the 9th carbon atom from either end of the molecule. There is no triglyceride component to jojoba oil.
Physical Properties: Unrefined jojoba oil appears as a clear golden liquid at room temperature with a slightly fatty odor. Refined jojoba oil is colorless and odorless. The melting point of jojoba oil is approximately 10°C[1] and the iodine value is approximately 80[2]. Jojoba oil is relatively shelf-stable when compared with other vegetable oils. Jojoba oil has an Oxidative Stability Index of approximately 60[3], which means that it is more shelf-stable than oils of safflower oil, canola oil, almond oil or squalene but less than castor oil, macadamia oil and coconut oil.
Uniqueness: Unlike common triglyceride vegetable oils, jojoba oil is chemically very similar to human sebum. Jojoba oil is a straight chain wax ester which is liquid at room temperature, making jojoba and its derivatives good botanical alternatives to spermaceti (whale oil) and its derivatives, such as cetyl alcohol.
