Jojoba alcohol is the alcohol fraction obtained from the saponification of jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis oil). Jojoba alcohol is used in cosmetic formulations. The fatty alcohol mixture acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple), skin care product and viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products).
