Jojoba Esters and the Balm-Like Texture

Derived from jojoba, these wax esters melt close to skin temperature, which gives a product that plush, cushiony glide as it goes on. Formulators reach for them when a balm or cream should feel substantial without the slick residue a heavy oil leaves behind.

Lip and barrier products are the clearest examples here — Revision Skincare Youthful Lip Replenisher and DermProtect Barrier Defense both use them, and so do DEJ Face Cream and DEJ Night Cream. SkinBetter Science brings them into serum territory with Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum and Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment.

Are jojoba esters the same as jojoba oil?

Not quite. Jojoba oil is the liquid wax pressed from the seed; jojoba esters are made from it and behave more like a soft solid, which is what lets them add body to a balm rather than thinning it.
