Jojoba ester is a derivative of jojoba oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Jojoba oil itself is a liquid wax ester rather than a true oil, and it closely resembles the human sebum, making it a popular ingredient in cosmetics and skincare products. Jojoba esters are created through esterification, where the fatty acids in jojoba oil are combined with fatty alcohols.
