What is
Jojoba (Jo-ho-ba) oil is a liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis), a shrub native to the deserts of North America. Despite being called an oil, it closely resembles the natural sebum produced by human skin.
Jojoba oil is lightweight, non-greasy, and highly moisturizing, making it ideal for balancing oily or acne-prone skin. It is also valued for its ability to cleanse, soothe irritation, and provide long-lasting hydration without clogging pores.
Did You Know?
Jojoba oil has been used for thousands of years by Native American tribes, who valued it for its ability to heal and protect the skin. They used jojoba oil to treat wounds, burns, and chapped skin. The oil’s remarkable similarity to the natural sebum produced by the skin is what makes it so effective in skincare, offering hydration and nourishment while maintaining balance.
