Jojoba
This National Research Council report reviews the current status of the plant, which is now fast progressing from its wild state to commercial production of impressive magnitude. In particular, the intention is to highlight the uncertainties inherent in growing and selling a new farm product. This is not to dampen enthusiasm for a crop that has truly exciting promise, but to point out unresolved questions, so that farmers and investors can appreciate the economic risks and researchers can determine where their knowledge and talents can best be applied.It is now clear that this wild desert plant can be commercially cultivated. On sites where it is adapted, it will flower, and it will set its seed in plantations. But survival is not enough, the plants must produce yields that can be harvested and sold at a profit. This is where the uncertainty lies.Even in commerce, however, jojoba has made a promising start. Since 1982, mounting numbers of farmers in Arizona, California, Israel, and northern Mexico have obtained commercial harvests of seed. Moreover, a number of brokers and small companies have sold increasing amounts of jojoba oil harvested from both wild stands and plantations

Jojoba Oil Science
Jojoba Oil Science explores the science behind jojoba oil, a liquid wax derived from a desert shrub, and its widespread use in cosmetics and skin care. The book delves into the oil's unique chemical structure, distinguishing it from typical triglycerides, and examines various extraction methods, including cold-pressing and solvent extraction. Readers will gain insights into why jojoba oil is a sought-after natural ingredient due to its moisturizing properties and compatibility with skin. This book methodically progresses, first deconstructing the chemical composition of jojoba oil, followed by detailing extraction and refining processes. It then comprehensively reviews the applications of jojoba oil across a spectrum of cosmetic products, ranging from skin hydration to hair care, detailing its effects on skin elasticity and protection against environmental stressors. By presenting evidence-based research, including GC-MS analysis, the book provides a scientific foundation for understanding jojoba oil's efficacy, safety, and potential for innovation within cosmetic science, making it valuable for cosmetic chemists, dermatologists, and informed consumers alike.
