Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) has a long history of use by several Indigenous peoples of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Among the Navajo, the leaves and bark were ground into a paste and applied as a poultice to treat skin irritations and minor wounds (Bennett, 1998). The Hopi used a decoction of the leaves to relieve itching and inflammation of the skin, stirring the infusion into a cloth that was then wrapped over the affected area (Krause, 2005). The Zuni recorded a maceration of fresh leaves in water, which was then used as a topical wash for eczema and other dermal conditions (Smith, 1972). In all three accounts the plant part used is the fresh leaf; the bark is occasionally mentioned for internal use, but no documented teas or tinctures are reported.

A simple poultice recipe that follows traditional practice is as follows: take 10 g of fresh, washed jojoba leaves and crush them lightly. Place the crushed leaves in a clean cloth or gauze, then wrap the cloth around the affected skin area. Leave the poultice in place for 30 minutes, then remove and rinse the skin with cool water. If the skin is very inflamed, repeat the poultice twice daily. Because jojoba oil is not used in this preparation, there are no known contraindications, but as with any topical application, discontinue use if irritation worsens or if the individual is allergic to other members of the Lamiaceae family.

The therapeutic effects of jojoba poultices are likely linked to the plant’s high content of wax esters, which are structurally similar to human sebum and help to moisturize and protect the skin. Jojoba also contains small amounts of phytosterols, tocopherols (vitamin E), and flavonoids, all of which have anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can aid in wound healing and skin repair. Modern research has confirmed the moisturizing and barrier‑repair effects of jojoba oil, and the plant’s extracts are now widely used in cosmetic and dermatological products.

Today, jojoba oil is commercially available worldwide and is prized for its emollient properties. While the traditional poultice method is less common in contemporary practice, the plant’s historical use as a topical remedy continues to inform modern formulations and supports ongoing interest in its skin‑healing potential.

General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
Jojoba is processed into liquid waxes and refined oils for cosmetics, personal care, and industrial use. Hydrolyzed/hydrogenated derivatives (jojoba esters) provide waxes with defined melting points and viscosities. Gums and polymeric derivatives are produced from partially polymerized oil for thickening and texturizing.

Industrial and craft applications:
The oil and wax esters are used as lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and anti-foam agents in machinery and metalworking due to their thermal and oxidative stability and high viscosity index. In coatings and inks, they function as plasticizers or modifiers and as binders for certain non-aqueous printing inks. Jojoba oil is evaluated as a feedstock for producing long-chain esters, fatty alcohols, and waxes via transesterification, fractionation, and hydrogenation. The oil and methyl or ethyl esters have been tested as diesel extenders; oxidative stability and low water content favor such uses but must be managed in practice.

Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
Food-grade jojoba oil is used as a frying medium, defoamer in sugar processing, and glazing agent for confectionery and bakery applications. Flavor and odor are neutral, and the oil resists oxidative rancidity under heat and light.

Colorants and tanning:
Limited non-food colorants and tanning uses are reported for jojoba; documented commercial use is primarily in cosmetics and industrial lubricants rather than dyes or tanning agents.

Wood and fiber:
Jojoba oil is a specialized finish for leather and wood where lubrication and surface softening are desired. For structural timber, it is not a primary commercial product.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
Jojoba oil is a widely used emollient, moisturizer, and carrier oil in skin and hair care, makeup, and bath products. Its esters and waxes (natural and hydrogenated) provide film-forming, occlusive, and texture-modifying properties with minimal odor and high stability against oxidation and hydrolysis.

Properties relevant to use:
Jojoba’s wax esters (primarily C20–C22 mono- and diunsaturated acids esterified to C16–C22 alcohols) give high viscosity index, pour point control, and oxidative stability. Typical cold-flow behavior and saponification values (~90–105 mg KOH/g) and iodine values (~80–90 g I2/100 g) support lubrication and cosmetic performance; hydrogenated products exhibit defined melting points (30–70°C) suitable for cosmetic waxes.

Standards and regulation:
Cosmetic use follows regional regulations such as the FDA Cosmetic Ingredient Review and EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC No 1223/2009). Lubricant specifications are defined by standards such as ASTM D445 (viscosity), D92 (flash point), D130 (copper corrosion), D2270 (viscosity index), and D97 (pour point). Food-contact uses are governed by national food additive or GRAS-like frameworks where applicable, and by national food safety authorities.

Sustainability and sourcing:
Jojoba is cultivated in arid regions of India, the United States, Israel, and Argentina. Established agronomic practices emphasize minimal irrigation once established, with yields reported from approximately 0.5–1.0 t/ha for dried seed. Certifications such as organic and fair-trade may apply depending on market requirements.
