Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil In reality jojoba oil is not an oil but a liquid wax and is pronounced “ho-ho-ba”. Because it’s composed of wax esters, it is extremely stable. Works as an effective cleanser, conditioner, moisturizer and softener for the skin and hair. It can be applied directly to the skin to soften the skin, reduce wrinkles and stretch marks, lighten and help heal scars, and promote healthy scalp and hair. The structure of jojoba oil closely resembles that of your own skin sebum, the natural coating our body produces to protect the skin and keep it supple. Our skin loses sebum with age, sun, wind, cold and the environment. Jojoba contains protein, minerals and a waxy substance that mimics collagen. It has a light scent, is not greasy, is an excellent moisturizer and is ideal for all skin types. Jojoba can especially help dry or oily skin. If your skin has an over production of sebum, jojoba oil will dissolve clogged pores and restore the skin to its natural pH balance. The reason jojoba oil works so well is that it actually penetrates the skin easily, because it is accepted as sebum. Gives a “satiny” finish to the skin. It contains myristic acid, which also has anti-inflammatory actions. Jojoba helps to heal inflamed skin conditions such as psoriasis or any form of dermatitis, cold sores, helps control acne and oily scalps, making it a great scalp cleanser, too. It protects the skin and is a good barrier for hands and baby bottoms. Great for mature, aging skin and wrinkles. Rich in Vitamin E, it has antioxidant properties and will never break down or go rancid, so it is often added to other carriers as a preservative. Jojoba oil is hypoallergenic and pure.
