Frequently Asked Questions

Is jojoba oil and golden jojoba oil the same?

Golden jojoba oil is the unrefined form, retaining its natural golden color, while refined (clear/colorless) jojoba is processed and decolorized. Both are expressed from Simmondsia chinensis seed; the golden grade is simply less processed.

What is golden jojoba oil made of?

Golden jojoba oil (CAS 61789-91-1) is a liquid wax expressed from jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) seed. Chemically it is composed of long-chain wax esters rather than triglycerides, which gives it high oxidative stability.

What is golden jojoba oil used for?

It is used as an emollient and skin/hair-conditioning carrier oil in cosmetics, as a diluent/carrier for actives, fragrances, and botanicals, and as a high-stability industrial lubricant.

Is golden jojoba oil water soluble?

No. As a liquid wax ester it is oil-soluble and lipophilic, not water soluble; it disperses into oil phases and is typically emulsified when used in aqueous formulations.
