Our Jojoba oil is a highly beneficial and versatile natural product. It is certified organic and unrefined, and it is expeller pressed from the seeds of Simmondsia chinensis. Jojoba oil, which is a liquid wax, gained recognition in the 1970s when whaling was banned because it has properties similar to oil from sperm whales.
Jojoba is an extremely stable substance since it is composed of wax esters, and it does not easily deteriorate. If properly stored, it can last up to 5 years or more. The structure of jojoba closely resembles that of natural skin sebum, making it an excellent moisturizer for all skin types. Jojoba oil penetrates deeply into the skin and provides long-lasting moisture without clogging pores. It is particularly beneficial for dry, sensitive, and mature skin, as it helps to restore the skin's natural balance and suppleness.
When used as a massage medium, jojoba oil acts as an emulsifier with the skin's natural sebum and gently unclogs the pores, lifting grime, and embedded impurities. Jojoba oil contains myristic acid, which has anti-inflammatory actions, and it is quickly absorbed due to its similarity in composition to that of the skin's natural oils. Therefore, it is ideal for dry and mature skin as well as inflamed conditions.
Jojoba oil is not just beneficial for the skin, but also for the hair. It is an excellent nourishing ingredient that can help to improve the condition and appearance of hair. Jojoba oil can be used as a natural conditioner, providing deep hydration and nourishment to hair follicles. It is sometimes added to commercial hair care products, but due to the cost of organic jojoba oil, the quantity included is low.
In most cases, jojoba oil can be used on acne-prone skin without any problems as it helps to control acne. Additionally, it is an antioxidant, which means the oil does not become rancid and can prevent rancidity in other oils. Jojoba oil can be used pure in massage or can be mixed with another carrier oil. It is a versatile and beneficial natural product that can be used in a variety of ways to improve the health and appearance of skin and hair.
