Jojoba Oil

(Simmondsia chinensis)

Softens, moisturises, protects

Jojoba oil is the liquid wax ester produced in the seed of the jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) plant, a shrub native to southern Arizona. Out of all of the compounds in nature, this wax ester is the most similar to human skin oil (sebum). It is predicted that applying jojoba to the skin can "trick" the skin into thinking it is producing enough oil, thus balancing oil production. It is a highly penetrative, very protective oil with excellent softening and moisturising properties, recommended for all skin types but particularly for the treatment of dry, mature or hardened skin.
