What Exactly Is Jojoba Esters?

Here's what you're putting on your skin — and why we love it.

Jojoba Esters are derived from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, a desert shrub native to North America. Chemically, these esters are a complex mixture of wax esters, which closely resemble the natural oils found in human skin. Unlike other oils, Jojoba Esters are non-comedogenic, making them suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.

The process of hydrogenating jojoba oil results in Jojoba Esters, enhancing their stability and texture. This transformation provides a semi-solid, wax-like consistency that is ideal for formulating luxurious creams, lotions, and balms. Renowned for their gentle yet effective moisturising properties, Jojoba Esters are a staple in high-end skincare formulations.

What Happens When Jojoba Esters Touches Your Skin

Understanding the process helps you get better results at home and in the treatment room.

Jojoba Esters work by mimicking the natural sebum of the skin, providing moisturisation without clogging pores. Their unique structure allows them to penetrate the skin's surface, delivering hydration deep into the epidermal layers. This mechanism supports the skin's barrier function, reducing transepidermal water loss and enhancing overall skin health.

Furthermore, Jojoba Esters contain natural antioxidants, which help to protect the skin from environmental stressors. By reinforcing the skin's lipid barrier, they not only moisturise but also shield against dehydration and external aggressors, leaving the skin supple and resilient.

Why Our Therapists Reach for Jojoba Esters

When it comes to choosing actives for your treatment, our therapists are selective. Here's why Jojoba Esters earns its place.

Moreover, the versatility of Jojoba Esters makes them an invaluable addition to various spa therapies. Whether used in facial treatments or body massages, these esters ensure that clients receive an indulgent, effective experience, leaving the skin feeling rejuvenated and deeply nourished.

Who Benefits Most from Jojoba Esters?

Not every ingredient is for everyone — here's who we see the best results with.

Jojoba Esters are ideal for individuals with dry, sensitive, or mature skin, offering profound hydration without irritation. Those experiencing skin imbalance, such as excessive oiliness or dryness, will benefit from the esters' ability to normalise sebum production.

Additionally, those with acne-prone skin can find solace in Jojoba Esters, as they are non-comedogenic and help to soothe inflammation, making them a versatile ingredient in any skincare routine.

How to Use Jojoba Esters in Your Routine

Getting the application right makes all the difference. Here's what our therapists suggest.

Application
Apply a small amount of product containing Jojoba Esters to cleansed skin. Gently massage in upward circular motions until fully absorbed.
When to Use
Use Jojoba Esters in both morning and evening routines for optimal hydration. They are particularly beneficial during colder months when skin tends to be drier.
Worth Knowing Before You Layer

Avoid combining with heavy occlusive agents that may hinder absorption, such as petrolatum, to maintain the esters' non-greasy feel.
