Also known asjojoba seed oil

FunctionEmollient

What it is — Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (INCI: Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil), also known as jojoba seed oil, is an emollient — an ingredient that softens and smooths.

What it does — It is commonly used as jojoba seed oil, a wax-ester emollient closely resembling skin's own sebum.

Typical use — It is common in creams, lotions, conditioners, masks, balms and leave-in treatments, where it contributes slip and a conditioned skin- or hair-feel. The exact skin- or hair-feel it gives depends on how rich the ester or oil is and how much is used.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally well tolerated across skin types. Richer emollients can feel heavy on very oily or blemish-prone skin, so texture preference varies by person. Choosing lighter or richer emollients is mostly about matching your skin type and the season.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: non-comedogenic, well-tolerated oil. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — non-comedogenic, well-tolerated oil.
