Florasolvs® Jojoba-120 is an ethoxylated jojoba ester which provides water-soluble jojoba emolliency for cosmetic formulations. This versatile, emollient functions as a secondary emulsifier. It also delivers clarity and payout in stick products and fragrance oil solubilization in aqueous solutions. It has good clarity when dissolved in water and does not negatively influence foam properties. When incorporated in water-based stick products it will strengthen the wax/stick matrix and still remain clear.

It also imparts high slip. Its HLB is 18.0 and it is of near neutral pH. Primary application areas to date have included prestige face, neck and eye area products and a wide variety of shampoos.
