Jojoba Cream
This powerful emollient mimics the natural oils produced by the body, acting like a protective shield against the elements. It locks in moisture for hours, keeping skin feeling hydrated, soft,
and supple. Luxuriously gentle and non-comedogenic, jojoba cream absorbs quickly, does not block pores, and is ideal for sensitive skin.

Uncle Harry’s Jojoba CreamIngredients explained
What-it-does:
soothing, emollient, moisturizer/humectant
Jojoba-derived emollient wax esters (fatty acid + fatty alcohol) that make your skin feel nice and smooth. Chemically speaking, pure jojoba oil is also a wax ester (read our shiny explanation here), however, the ingredients called jojoba esters on the ingredient lists are made from jojoba oil and/or hydrogenated jojoba oil via interesterification.
They have multiple versions with variable fatty acid chain length and the ingredient can have a liquid, a creamy, a soft or firm paste, or even a hard wax consistency. The common thing between all versions is, that unlike most normal triglyceride oils, jojoba esters have superior stability, provide non-greasy emolliency and are readily absorbed into the skin.
