Jojoba 100% natural organic oil is actually a liquid wax rather than oil. When applied to your skin, it’s moisturizing effects mimic the natural oils produced by your skin, and its slightly acidic pH is similar to our skin’s pH. Jojoba oil is commonly used in make-up, lotions and hair products to protect and hydrate.
Jojoba oil is extracted in a very time-consuming process. The seeds or deernut of the jojoba shrub are cold-pressed in a process that uses extreme pressure to squeeze the oil out of the seeds without applying heat, so as not to damage the oil’s quality. After filtering the solid material out, you are left with liquid wax which is referred to as Jojoba Oil, a carrier oil for other essential oils.
Jojoba Oil for Skin Treatment
Jojoba Oil is an excellent addition to your beauty routine for all skin types. Even though it’s an oil and you might be concerned about the greasiness, especially if you have oily skin, it is actually quite lightweight, easily absorbed and won’t clog your pores.
The high vitamin E content and antioxidants in Jojoba oil assist with scar healing, premature ageing and nourishes dry skin improving elasticity and suppleness.
