Description

Jojoba Oil

Description – Jojoba has a chemical composition very close to that of the skin’s natural sebum. This allows it to be easily absorbed and it rarely causes allergic reactions. Jojoba is in fact a liquid wax (liquid esters), rather than a true oil, and may becomes cloudy, thicken or solidify in cold temperatures. This does not damage the oil, simply warm through to use. Our jojoba is natural golden which is the least processed. There is much deodorised and bleached jojoba available on the market.

Common Uses

  • Moisture Protection – creates a protective film that slows down transdermal moisture loss, locking moisture into the skin and hair shaft
  • Massage – excellent ‘long’ oil giving a lovely skin feel with no sticky feeling. Combine with grapeseed for an excellent massage base
  • Blocked Pores – softens dirt and allows it to be expelled from the pore
  • Oily Skin – tricks the skin into producing less sebum. Jojoba replaces it and will not block pores helping to clear the skin
  • Hair Conditioner – use as a hot oil that is non-greasy and easy to wash out
