Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil

Overview

Hydrogenated jojoba oil is a jojoba oil that has undergone processing and hydrogenation to get rid of all unsaturated double bonds in the fatty acids.

This turns the liquid, oil-like wax into crystalline, solid wax. It is very occlusive, adding to the moisturizing effects of the formulation.
