Jojoba Golden Oil

jojoba oil is the liquid produced in the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) plant, which is native to southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico. The terms "jojoba oil" and "jojoba wax" are often used interchangeably because the wax visually appears to be a mobile oil, but as a wax it is composed almost entirely (~97%) of mono-esters of long-chain fatty acids and alcohols, accompanied by only a tiny fraction of triglyceride esters. This composition accounts for its extreme shelf-life stability and extraordinary resistance to high temperatures, compared with true vegetable oils.
