why we use jojoba wax peg-120 esters
The Basics
Jojoba Wax PEG-120 Esters is a gentle, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier that enhances the texture and stability of skincare formulations. Being the most water-soluble form of jojoba wax available, it can add nourishing emollience to water-based formulas like toners, essences, and serums. Its conditioning properties make it well-suited for use in emulsions, where it provides a luxurious, silky finish. Depending on the formula, it can also function as a mild cleansing agent, helping to solubilise oils and impurities while maintaining a soft, non-stripping feel on the skin. This ingredient is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin, as it reduces the potential for irritation often associated with harsher surfactants. Additionally, its ability to improve formulation stability ensures a smooth, uniform consistency in skincare products.
