INCA LITE is cold-pressed Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) Seed oil. Jojoba liquid wax and is composed almost completely (97%) of wax esters of monounsaturated, long-chained fatty acids and alcohols with high-molecular weights (C16-26). These wax esters are principally (83%) compounds of C20 and C22 unsaturated acids and alcohols. Total free acids (C16 to C24) and total alcohols (C16 to C26) each account for 1% of the composition of Jojoba Oil. Mixed tocopherols and free sterols (< 0.5%) are also present. Jojoba oil is very resistant to oxidation and remains chemically unchanged for years (CTFA).
