Jojoba

Simmondsia chinensis · Liquid wax ester

Technically a liquid wax rather than an oil, jojoba closely mirrors the skin’s own sebum — which is why it absorbs cleanly and is the base of our face and scalp serums.

What the research says

Jojoba’s wax esters are structurally similar to human sebum, and it is widely studied as a stable, non-comedogenic carrier. That biocompatibility is why we build our serums on it.
