In contrast to oils, where fatty acids together with glycerin form the fatty components, waxes contain fatty acids combined with a fatty alcohol. These wax esters are very similar to human skin sebum and are therefore optimally mixed with it, creating a delicate, non-sealing lipid film. This keeps the skin moist without sealing it. A further effect is the increase of the skin's elasticity, as the jojoba oil spreads well within the cornea. The raw material is also ideal for impure skin. The jojoba oil is a true all-rounder.

A well moisturized skin ages more slowly and is better protected against environmental influences.

SODIUM LACTATE. Sodium salt of lactic acid, which is obtained in a biotechnological process. Lactic acid is a natural component of NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) and contributes to the natural acid mantle of the skin. Due to its activity on the compounds of the horny cells, lactic acid has a regulating effect on cornification and can be used in the case of acne and cornification disorders.
