A jojoba-derived wax used as a gentle exfoliant bead and as a conditioning emollient. It smooths skin while softening it.

What does Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil do in skincare?

Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil is a waxy material made by hydrogenating jojoba oil. In skincare and sunscreen formulas it works as an emollient and texture agent, helping soften skin and stabilize the product's consistency. It also contributes a smooth, non-greasy after-feel.

Is Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil comedogenic?

Jojoba-based ingredients are often considered relatively low on the comedogenic scale, though individual responses vary and firm ratings are limited. The hydrogenated form is a more solid, wax-like version of jojoba oil. Very acne-prone users may want to see how their skin reacts.

Is Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil vegan?

Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil is plant-derived, made from the oil of the jojoba shrub, so the ingredient contains no animal-sourced material. A finished product's vegan status still depends on its full ingredient list. Look for vegan labeling on the product itself to be certain.
