Private label jojoba formulas

Developing a jojoba product

Jojoba is a favourite with formulators because it is light, stable and works in almost any oil-based product, from face oils to massage blends.

Formats that suit it

• Body and massage oils are the largest group in our jojoba range. Browse our private label body and massage oils.
• Face oils and oil serums for a light, fast-absorbing feel. See face oils.
• Lip, cuticle and hand care, where its silky feel suits small, targeted products.

Texture and pairing choices

Jojoba blends well with heavier oils such as almond, argan and castor to lighten their feel, and with squalane and vitamin E. In balms and butters it softens the texture of shea and waxes. Jojoba is also sold on its own as a carrier oil, so a brand can offer both a pure oil and finished blends. If you plan a fragranced massage oil, decide early whether to use essential oils or a fragrance, because that changes allergen labelling.

Packaging

Glass or PET bottles with pumps or droppers suit oils. Amber or opaque packs help protect blends that contain essential oils or other light-sensitive ingredients. Lip and cuticle oils suit roll-ons and brush-cap pens.

Claims to check before launch

"Softening", "nourishing" and "silky feel" are typical cosmetic claims. "Pure" or "cold-pressed" needs supplier documentation. Avoid health or therapeutic claims for massage oils. For a bespoke blend, see custom formulation.
