Simmondsia chinensis
Desert shrub producing liquid wax ester similar to human sebum.
Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) is a desert shrub whose seeds yield a liquid wax ester that closely resembles human sebum, making it a unique and effective moisturizer and sebum regulator. It is primarily used topically for dry skin, acne, and hair care, with key active compounds including wax esters, vitamin E, and phytosterols. Evidence is limited to pilot studies and traditional use, but its biocompatibility supports widespread cosmetic application.
Jojoba wax esters mimic sebum, allowing them to penetrate the stratum corneum and regulate sebum production via feedback inhibition on sebaceous glands. Vitamin E provides antioxidant protection against lipid peroxidation, while phytosterols may reduce inflammation by inhibiting COX-2 and modulating PPAR-γ pathways. Simmondsin, a cyanogenic glycoside, is present in small amounts and may contribute to antimicrobial effects but is generally considered safe in topical use.
