What is Jojoba oil?

Jojoba oil is a natural product obtained from the seeds of the jojoba shrub, Simmonsia chinensis. It comes as a yellow liquid, with a molecular consistency almost 100% similar to the sebum naturally secreted by our skin. This aspect makes the jojoba oil easily absorbed into the skin, without leaving a greasy or oily feeling. 

Jojoba oil is also called the yellow gold, precisely for its properties and the versatility of the ways in which it can be used. Although it is called an oil, it is more of a liquid wax, which means that it does not deteriorate as quickly and easily as other vegetable oils do. 

You can use the jojoba oil both for skin and hair, and contains vitamin (vitamin E), minerals, antioxidants and fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acids. All these nutritious substances contribute to the hydration, regeneration and protection of the skin and hair.

Its ability to penetrate the skin allows it to help other active ingredients reach into the deep layers of the skin. This is the reason why jojoba oil is added to many cosmetic products, since it acts as an amplifier for the other ingredients. This oil is often used in cosmetic products, including creams and lotions, soaps, shampoos, and conditioners. It can also be used as a pure oil or as a standalone ingredient in custom skin care blends. Thanks to its versatile properties, it suits all types of skin, dry, oily, mixed or sensitive. It is non-allergic and non-comedogenic, which means that it does not block the pores, so it can be used even on the delicate skin of babies. To conclude, jojoba oil is a natural and beneficial product, recognized for its moisturizing, regenerating, antioxidant and balancing properties. As a versatile ingredient, it can be confidently added to your skin care routine for healthy, glowing and protected skin.
