Jojoba
|
Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) is a perennial wood shrub native to the Sonoran desert regions of Arizona, California, and Mexico. Jojoba is an oilseed, but unlike most oil seeds, the “oil” of jojoba is a liquid wax that resembles sperm whale oil. Jojoba oil is currently used in the cosmetics industry; other potential industrial uses include high-temperature, high-pressure lubricants, and as an anti-foaming agent.
