JOJOBA

from $27.98

Jojoba

Botanical Name: Simmondsia chinensis Botanical Family: Simmondsiaceae

Quick Facts

·         Method: Cold Pressed

·         Texture/Absorption: Medium-light; very compatible with the skin. It absorbs deeply and leaves a velvet-like, non-greasy finish.

·         Color: Brilliant golden (unrefined) to clear (refined).

The Profile

Jojoba is a desert shrub native to the Southwestern US and Mexico. Because its chemical structure is so similar to our own skin’s natural oils, it is "accepted" by the skin more readily than many vegetable oils. Lawless notes its remarkable stability, while some consider it one of the most important carriers for facial care because it helps to balance oil production—hydrating dry skin while signaling oily skin to slow down.

Nutrient Profile

Naturally rich in Vitamin E and B-complex vitamins, as well as minerals like Silicon, Copper, and Zinc. Its wax ester structure makes it naturally anti-inflammatory and extremely resistant to turning rancid.

Skin & Body Benefits

·         Face: Highly effective for acne-prone skin because it can help "dissolve" sebum plugs in pores. It is also a superior moisturizer for mature skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines.

·         Body: Provides a long-lasting protective barrier against the elements. It is excellent for soothing inflamed skin, including "winter itch" or chafing.

·         Hair: Often called "liquid gold" for hair. It can be used to treat dandruff, promote hair thickness, and protect the hair shaft from split ends.

The "At Home" Uses

1.      Balancing Facial Cleanser: Massage Jojoba into the skin and wipe away with a warm cloth to remove impurities while keeping the skin’s pH balanced.

2.      Scalp Treatment: Warm a small amount of Jojoba and massage into the scalp 20 minutes before washing to help loosen buildup and nourish the roots.

Ideal For Blending

Jojoba is the premier choice for high-end facial serums and natural perfumes. Since it is a wax, it doesn't go rancid like vegetable oils, making it the perfect base for expensive essential oils like Jasmine, Rose, or Sandalwood.

Safety, Precautions & Storage

·         Safety: Non-toxic, non-comedogenic, and generally non-allergenic. It is safe for almost every skin type, including very sensitive skin. Note: Jojoba is for external use only; it is not digestible.

·         Storage: Exceptionally stable. It has an almost indefinite shelf life and does not require refrigeration. It may solidify in very cold temperatures, but will return to liquid when warmed.

Available Sizes: 50ml, 100ml, 500ml
