The Oils

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Jojoba Oil works to attract water to the top layer of the skin, helping to keep the skin hydrated. It also has anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Applying jojoba oil to the skin may help relieve dryness, flaking, itching, and related symptoms.

Here are some properties and uses associated with Jojoba oil:

Moisturising: Jojoba oil is an excellent moisturizer for the skin. It closely resembles the natural sebum produced by our skin, making it easily absorbed and non-greasy. It helps to hydrate and nourish the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and supple.

Balancing: Jojoba oil has the ability to regulate the skin’s oil production. It can help balance oily skin by dissolving excess sebum and preventing clogged pores. At the same time, it can also provide moisture to dry skin, making it suitable for all skin types.

Anti-inflammatory: Jojoba oil has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm irritated skin. It may be beneficial for conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Non-comedogenic: Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores. This makes it a suitable choice for individuals with acne-prone or sensitive skin.
