Organic jojoba wax is a natural wax derived from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). It is primarily composed of long-chain monounsaturated liquid wax esters, making it chemically similar to human sebum. In the food industry, it's rarely used as an edible ingredient but more commonly as a coating or additive in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The FDA generally regards jojoba as safe when used externally, but ingestion is uncommon and evidence supporting benefits or risks from dietary consumption is limited.
