Jojoba Oil Clear

Cold-pressed from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis shrub and subsequently passed through a physical clay filtration process, Zurma’s Clear Jojoba Oil is a transparent, odourless botanical extract. Technically, Jojoba is not a standard fixed oil composed of triglycerides (typical plant fats); rather, it is a pure liquid wax ester (a unique class of stable lipid molecule). The clay filtration process gently removes the natural golden pigment and earthy scent while preserving the structural integrity of the wax esters. Within clinical formulation and natural skincare, Clear Jojoba is valued because its molecular structure closely mirrors human sebum (the skin’s natural oil). It functions as a reliable, non-greasy emollient (skin-softening agent) that supports the outermost layer of the skin without altering the colour or fragrance profile of delicate formulations.

Skincare Ritual & Well-being Applications: The specific chemical composition of Jojoba wax esters makes it an effective botanical ingredient for regulating cutaneous (skin) barrier function. Documented extensively in authoritative lipid formulation texts, its structural similarity to human sebum (the skin's natural oil) allows it to balance surface hydration, delivering targeted moisture to dry tissue while helping to regulate excess lipid output from the microscopic oil-producing glands in the skin [1]. Because it is completely colourless, odourless, and resistant to oxidation (chemical breakdown from oxygen exposure), Clear Jojoba serves as an industry-standard carrier base for fine natural perfumery and white cosmetic emulsions (creams and lotions), extending the shelf life and preserving the true olfactory profile of delicate essential oils and absolutes [2].

Technical Specifications & Botanical Identity:

Product Type: 100% Pure Liquid Wax Ester (Carrier Oil)

Botanical Name: Simmondsia chinensis

Extraction Method: Cold-Pressed & Clay Filtered (Decolourised and Deodorised)

Plant Part Processed: Seeds

Aroma Profile: Odourless and neutral

Lipid Profile Focus: High concentration of long-chain liquid wax esters, specifically Gadoleic Acid (Omega-9) and Erucic Acid

Absorption Rate: Medium to fast; absorbs cleanly to match the skin's natural lipid barrier without leaving a heavy residue

Dermal Limits & Clinical Safety: Clear Jojoba Oil is generally regarded as safe for unrestricted topical application at up to 100% concentration. It is widely noted for being non-comedogenic (does not clog pores), making it well-suited for sensitive, reactive, and acne-prone skin profiles [3].

Storage & Degradation: Because it is composed of wax esters rather than triglyceride fats, Jojoba is highly resistant to rancidity and thermal degradation. Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark environment away from direct UV light. Note that as a natural liquid wax, Jojoba will begin to cloud and solidify at temperatures below 7°C to 10°C; warming the bottle gently at room temperature will return it to a clear liquid state without affecting its quality. When stored properly, Clear Jojoba maintains a stable shelf life of 24 to 36 months or longer.

Critical Warnings: For external cosmetic and topical use only. Do not ingest.
