message: To be correct, entries regarding jojoba's specific use in cosmetics and toiletries should be posted on Jojoba oil or Jojoba esters instead of jojoba. Istvan 13:00, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Jojoba as an ingredient in cosmetics and toiletries

message: I remember reading somewhere that Jojoba oil isn't really an oil. Is this true? (Come to think of it, what makes something an oil, is it just something that is "oily", or does it have to do with some narrolwly defined properties or chemical structure?)Brentt 21:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

text: It's an oil in that sense. When it's described as 'not really an oil', this probably means 'not a triglyceride'. Most oils of plant or animal origin are triglycerides; jojoba oil is a wax ester.27.252.226.243 (talk) 06:01, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

The [earliest version of the article], was written in US English ("mosturizer", not "mosturiser"), by an editor residing in the US. I will change the spelling of "metre" to "meter".

message: I (student in agricultural sciences at the federal institute of technology zürich, switzerland) would like to make some changes of this article, in particular:
-add a section on the origin of the jojoba plant
-add a section on the composition of jojoba wax
-change the structure of the section "description" by adding two subsections: 1)vegetative characteristics and 2)generative characteristics
