 In the 1970s, a convergence of scientific discovery and environmental activism led to the founding of the Desert Whale Jojoba Company. When researchers learned that Jojoba extracts could replace spermaceti oil in cosmetic formulations, activists in the Save the Whale campaign gained another compelling argument in their crusade to end the decimation of Sperm whale populations.
Soon, a multiplicity of other Jojoba benefits became apparent. Not only were Jojoba extracts superior in many respects to their synthetic and natural counterparts, but Jojoba represented a renewable agricultural resource in an otherwise limited growing region. As word of the products and the company spread, Desert Whale captured the growing demand for environmentally friendly, high-quality emollients that could be used for a wide range of cosmetic products.
Today, Desert Whale is the largest US producer and processor of Jojoba, and one of the few companies in the world growing AND producing raw materials for the cosmetics industry. From our corporate headquarters in Tucson, Arizona we export Jojoba derived ingredients and more than 20 natural emollients to over twenty countries through our network of exclusive distributors. Desert Whale pioneered the production of organically certified jojoba, and we continue to advance the innovations and formulations that will define the quality of fine cosmetics and personal care products for years to come. |
