Jojoba oil contains wax esters (about 98% of the oil) plus vitamins and sterols that show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties in research. The review found evidence supporting its use for acne and psoriasis, though most studies reviewed were lab-based or traditional use rather than human clinical trials.

This was a comprehensive literature review that analyzed existing research on jojoba oil's chemical composition, properties, and applications across pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses.
