Simmondsia chinensis
An evergreen shrub. The
seeds
of the female plants contain an wax often used in food, skin and soap products. Though the extract looks like an oil, it is a wax that is liquid at
room temperature
. Being a wax, it is similar to natural liquid waxes in our own skin which prevent water loss. Thus it is often used as a
moisturizer
.
Other uses for Jojoba:
an
anti-foaming
agent in the fermentation industry
a
magnetic memory media
lubricant
a
high-temperature
high-pressure lubricant
It is similar to
sperm whale
oil and can be substituted for it in many applications
The above list from: Naqvi, H.H. and I.P. Ting. 1990. Jojoba: A unique liquid wax producer from the American desert. p. 247-251. In: J. Janick and J.E. Simon (eds.), Advances in new crops. Timber Press, Portland, OR.
