Jojoba oil, certified organic
Organic, cold-pressed jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Renowned for its unique composition, jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax that closely resembles the natural sebum produced by human skin. Traditionally used by indigenous communities for its conditioning and emollient properties, jojoba oil has become a cornerstone in modern skincare and haircare formulations due to its balancing and nourishing effects.
Skincare Uses
Lightweight and easily absorbed: Jojoba oil penetrates the skin quickly, delivering moisture without leaving a greasy residue.
Balances the skin's natural sebum: Its composition is similar to human sebum, helping to regulate oil production and support a balanced complexion.
Rich in antioxidants and vitamins: Contains natural antioxidants that aid in protecting the skin against environmental stressors while promoting overall skin health.
Ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin: Its gentle, non-comedogenic properties make it suitable for a range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
Haircare Uses
Nourishes and conditions: Helps to moisturise and soften both the hair and scalp, promoting improved manageability and shine.
Supports scalp health: Its balancing properties can soothe dryness or excess oil on the scalp, contributing to a healthier hair environment.
Enhances natural shine: Regular application can improve hair texture and add a natural lustre without weighing the hair down.
Additional Applications
Versatile in cosmetic formulations: Commonly used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy, massage oils, and DIY skincare recipes.
Stabilises emulsions: Its stable nature makes it an excellent ingredient in creams and lotions, helping to maintain a smooth, consistent texture.
Blends well with other botanicals: Often combined with other plant oils to create synergistic formulations tailored for both skin and hair care.
Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
