## Chemical structure

Isopropyl jojobate is the isopropyl ester of the unfractionated saponification product of jojoba oil. It consists of a mixture of jojoba alcohols and the esters of isopropyl alcohol and jojoba acids. There are typically also unsaponified wax esters present in isopropyl jojobate.

## Physical properties

Isopropyl jojobate is an odorless, pale amber liquid at room temperature. The viscosity of isopropyl jojobate is much lower than that of jojoba oil.

## Uses

Isopropyl jojobate is often used in cosmetic formulations as a pigment wetting agent and emollient. It is often found in lipsticks, eye shadows, blushers, foundations, (especially stick foundations) and hair dyes.
