Jojoba Butter

Science & Benefits

Jojoba Butter is the hydrogenated version of Jojoba Oil. While Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax that closely mimics human sebum (rating 0-2), the hydrogenation process turns it into a solid, more occlusive butter. This increases its comedogenic potential to a moderate 2. It is highly effective at repairing severely dry or wind-burned skin, but it can be problematic for individuals with active, oily acne. The 'butter' form is more likely to sit on the surface of the pore than the oil form. It is a safe ingredient for those with a dry/compromised barrier, but should be used with caution by those with a high propensity for comedones.
