Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil

Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil. Abrasive

Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil is the "hardened version" of jojoba oil; jojoba oil is technically not an oil at all but a liquid wax that has a structure similar to your skin's own sebum.

Adding hydrogen turns this liquid wax into a colorless, odorless, hard wax with a melting point of around 70°C. This is why you'll see it in "stick formulations" like lipstick, eyeliner, and lip balm.

It also acts as a cushiony emollient and skin conditioning agent that leaves skin soft and smooth.

The safety profile of this ingredient is reassuring; the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel has concluded this ingredient to be safe in cosmetics and that it isn't am irritant or sensitizer.

Typical use levels range from 1% up to 25-31% in stick products.
