Simmondsia chinensis cera refers to the waxy extract from the nuts of Simmondsia chinensis, the jojoba shrub.
The extract is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple), skin care product (keeps the skin in good condition), hair conditioner (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume) and viscosity regulator (increases or decreases the viscosity of cosmetic products).
