Jojoba; Goatnut (Simmondsia chinensis) is a common native shrub that grows in Southern and Central California, primarily in the Peninsular Range and Sonoran Desert regions. It is moderately fast growing and long-lived. It grows in a rounded form to a height of 7 feet, with active growth during the summer and fall. Flowers are yellow and bloom in the late spring. Male and female flowers are borne on separate plants, the "goatnut" fruits only being found on female plants with male plants nearby. Leaves are medium green, and remain on the plant throughout the year. It tends to grow in rocky and sandy soils, at elevations from 0-4900 feet.
Unlike vegetable oils and animal fats, jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) oil is not a triglyceride but a mixture of long chain esters (97–98%) of fatty acids and fatty alcohols, and therefore is more properly referred to as a wax; however, jojoba oil-wax is the term in general use. Jojoba seeds contain about 50% of liquid wax which is mainly used in cosmetic preparations, not only acting as a humectant, but creating a protective film over the skin that keeps in moisture. Jojoba oil-wax provides a broad spectrum of fatty acids (such as oleic, linoleic and arachidonic), as well as triglycerides which have good compatibility with the natural sebum in the human skin.
