What Is Jojoba Butter?
Jojoba Butter is a soft, plant-based butter made from jojoba oil, obtained from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). While jojoba oil is liquid, jojoba butter is a soft, buttery solid: the jojoba oil is combined with plant-based (hydrogenated) oil to create a stable butter form. This preserves the nourishing properties of jojoba oil while making the product easier to dose and process in formulations. With a melting point of 50–60°C, the butter melts upon contact with the skin and absorbs easily without leaving a greasy film. Its ivory to light-yellow color and soft, characteristic scent make it a pleasant ingredient for rich, nourishing cosmetics. Whereas our Jojoba Wax mainly provides firmness and structure, Jojoba Butter focuses on nourishment, spreadability, and a luxurious skin feel.
What Is Jojoba Butter Good For?
Jojoba Butter is a versatile ingredient for nourishing cosmetics where a rich texture, pleasant skin feel, and stability are desired. The butter is added to the oil phase of an emulsion. Below are the most common applications in cosmetics.
Skin Care
In creams, lotions, and balms, Jojoba Butter works as a nourishing emollient. It hydrates, softens, and improves the skin’s suppleness and elasticity, providing a luxurious, non-greasy finish. Particularly suitable for products for dry and mature skin.
Sun Care
Thanks to its stable butter structure and good spreadability, Jojoba Butter is a pleasant base for sun care products, where it helps nourish the skin and enriches the formulation’s texture.
Hair Care
In conditioners, hair creams, and treatments, Jojoba Butter adds nourishment and shine and helps leave the hair feeling soft and supple.
Lip Care
In lip balms and lipsticks, Jojoba Butter provides a soft, nourishing texture and a pleasant, non-greasy finish on the lips.
Soap
In soap, Jojoba Butter contributes to a creamy, nourishing character and a soft feeling on the skin.
SPA and Massage
Jojoba Butter can be used directly on the skin as a massage butter to soften and hydrate it, making it a popular ingredient for spa and wellness products.
