Frequently asked questions

What are hydrolyzed jojoba esters?

Hydrolyzed jojoba esters are water-soluble derivatives of jojoba oil, which is a liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant. The hydrolysis process breaks down the esters into smaller, more water-friendly components.

How do hydrolyzed jojoba esters benefit the skin?

They act as humectants, drawing moisture to the skin, and also help to form a protective film that reduces water loss. This leads to improved hydration, a smoother skin texture, and enhanced skin barrier function.
