A precision-engineered derivative of jojoba seed oil, JOJOBA SEED OIL AMINOPROPANEDIOL AMIDES/ESTERS functions as a multi-faceted skin conditioning agent. It deeply hydrates, soothes, and helps balance the skin's natural oil production by mimicking sebaceous lipids. This versatile ingredient also enhances the absorption of other beneficial actives, promoting a balanced and healthy complexion.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates as an effective emollient, delivering skin-softening and smoothing effects, and a humectant, significantly boosting and retaining skin's moisture. Chemically analogous to human sebum, being primarily wax esters rather than triglycerides, it seamlessly integrates with the skin's natural lipid barrier to regulate sebum production and foster a balanced complexion. Furthermore, it enhances the dermal penetration of lipophilic active compounds, such as retinol or resveratrol, by improving the fluidity of the sebaceous lipids within the stratum corneum. The ingredient also provides anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal benefits to the skin.

Stability

Jojoba derivatives exhibit high oxidative stability and resistance to rancidity due to their unique linear wax ester structure and natural antioxidants. Jojoba Esters, specifically, demonstrate superior stability, with Jojoba Esters 60 recorded at 175 OSI (oxidative stability index) hours. This ingredient can also enhance the overall stability of other oils within formulations.

Synergies
