Jojoba Esters - expensive petrolatum or something more? Cheaper natural alternatives?
I’ve been playing around with Jojobaesters and I have to ask, are there any benefits to them over petrolatum? Its structure is close to that of the wax esters in sebum allegedly (which makes up around 30% of sebum).
he cost is quite high $50/kg at 16 kg quantities.Floratech claims it performs about as well as petrolatum at reducing TEWL at 5x lower use rate
But could you instead just use cetyl alcohol or some other, cheaper, ester?
