What is jojoba oil?
Jojoba oil is a botanical extract of the seed of the jojoba tree (Simmondsia chinenis). Why do we care? Because out of all of the compounds in nature, the jojoba oil is the most similar to human skin oil (sebum). It is theorized that applying jojoba to the skin can "trick" the skin into thinking it is producing enough oil, thus balancing oil production.
Benefits of jojoba oil
Provides all day moisturization - jojoba oil doesn't evaporate like water based moisturizers can. Very stable - jojoba oil does not become rancid or lose antioxidants even after long periods of storage. Spreads well and absorbs well. Free of pesticides, GMOs, and is sustainably farmed.
Uses of jojoba oil
Moisturizer - After dispensing any facial moisturizer onto your palm, try adding 5-6 drops of jojoba oil to make it into a super-moisturizer. Flakiness will subside and the moisturizer will have an improved feel on your skin.
Make-up remover - Since jojoba oil is not an eye irritant, nor allergenic, you can use it to remove eye makeup. It also easily removes foundation, blush, and lipstick.
Hair conditioner - You can mix a few drops of jojoba oil into your current conditioner or use jojoba oil on its own in the shower.* You can also add it to damp hair before drying. Also, you can add it to dry hair to promote shine. Jojoba oil also moisturizes the scalp, helping prevent dandruff.
