Eco Oil Argentina

What Eco Oil Argentina does

Eco Oil Argentina is a privately held B2B specialty ingredients producer founded in 1995, headquartered in Los Polvorines, Buenos Aires, and operating jojoba cultivation and production facilities in the northwestern Argentine desert. The company controls the full production chain — from seed cultivation and harvesting through cold-pressed mechanical extraction, in-house physical refining, and packaging into 180 kg steel drums — for four core jojoba oil variants: Golden Natural, Golden Deodorized, Organic, and Water Clear Refined. In 2018, it added organic and conventional chia seed oil as a complementary line.

The company's core technology is a continuous screw-press cold extraction with automatic temperature control combined with a proprietary physical refining process that preserves the liquid wax ester structure, yielding jojoba oil with documented specifications including heat tolerance to 370°C for 96 hours and a >97% long-chain C40-C44 ceramide profile. Production runs on dedicated stainless-steel equipment with separate lines for organic output to prevent cross-contamination. Certifications — ISO 9001:2008, ECOCERT, USDA Organic, EU Organic, Vegan (2022), and Halal — underpin access to premium certified-natural cosmetic segments.

Eco Oil generates revenue through one-time B2B bulk sales of ingredients to global cosmetics manufacturers and ingredient distributors, with no public pricing disclosed. Go-to-market is anchored by recurring trade-show participation at In Cosmetics (Amsterdam, Paris, London, Barcelona, Hamburg, Asia), PCHI China, Vitafoods Europe, and regional Latin American events, supplemented by a bilingual website, social media presence, and downloadable technical documentation. The company has been a subsidiary of Argentine pharmaceutical firm Laboratorio Elea Phoenix S.A. since 2016, employs 9 people, and is a member of the International Jojoba Export Council (IJEC).
