Jojoba Oils

Jojoba oil is a natural botanical extract celebrated for its unique ability to mirror the skin's natural oils. It provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration to help balance, protect, and restore the complexion.

What is jojoba oil?

Jojoba oil is not actually an oil, but a liquid wax ester extracted from the seeds of the native jojoba shrub. Its molecular structure is nearly identical to human sebum (the natural oil produced by our skin), which allows it to absorb deeply and easily without leaving a heavy, sticky, or greasy residue.

What are the main benefits of using jojoba oil?

Jojoba oil has intense moisturising, soothing, and barrier-repairing properties. It is naturally rich in essential fatty acids, as well as powerful antioxidants like Vitamin E, which work together to deeply hydrate dry patches, calm redness, and help defend the skin against daily environmental stressors.

Is jojoba oil suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

Jojoba oil can be used for oily and breakout prone skin types. As it closely mimics natural sebum, applying it helps trick the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil. This can help to regulate and balance overall sebum production, keeping pores clear and preventing the excess oil buildup that can lead to blemishes.

How do I use jojoba oil, and are there any side effects?

Jojoba oil can be applied directly to the face and body as a daily moisturiser, massaged into the scalp and hair to tame frizz, or used as a natural makeup remover. As it is naturally hypoallergenic, gentle, and non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), side effects are extremely rare.
