JOJOBA OIL

Origin

Jojoba Oil is derived from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis shrub, native to the arid regions of North and Central America. The oil is extracted through cold-pressing of mature jojoba seeds, followed by filtration to ensure purity while retaining its natural stability and bioactive components. Sustainable cultivation and minimal processing yield an eco-friendly oil prized for its similarity to human sebum.

Summary

Technically a liquid wax ester rather than a true triglyceride oil, Jojoba Oil is celebrated for its exceptional stability, non-comedogenic profile, and remarkable skin compatibility. It provides long-lasting moisturization, smooth texture, and a light, non-greasy feel. Its chemical similarity to natural skin oils makes it ideal for restoring balance to both dry and oily skin types. It also conditions and protects hair, improving manageability and shine.
