It has recently been proven that jojoba oil not only features high levels of oxidative stability, but adding jojoba oil to other oils can increase their stability levels as well, reveal Jojoba Desert.
Due to its unique chemical structure and antioxidants content, jojoba oil has excellent oxidative stability, resulting a long shelf life and resistance towards free radicals. This exclusive property of jojoba as a carrier oil can be capitalised upon by brands and result in formulations with oxidativelysensitive vitamins, essential oils and other natural active materials.
It is well known that jojoba oil is one of the most stable natural oils on the market and jojoba’s stability could prove critical in bringing formulations with long shelf-life to the market. Recently the oxidative stability of different vegetable oils has been tested by the commonly used Rancimat method. In this experiment, jojoba oil showed the highest oxidation stability among tested oils
Not only that jojoba oil is one of the most stable natural oils on the market, but adding jojoba oil to other carrier oils can improve their stability to much higher levels. In the case of avocado oil, it was improved by 400%.
As hemp oil and CBD are the hottest trend and the use of them is rising constantly, it was required to examine how jojoba oil affects the stability of hemp oil. The results of the tests aligned with the previous ones as they have indicated that as predicted – adding jojoba oil in 20:80 ratio significantly improved the stability of hemp oil and resulted in a lower peroxide value.
