jojoba oil

back to ingredient overview

Jojoba is a botanical extract of the seed of the jojoba tree (Simmondsia chinenis). It isn’t actually an oil, but rather what they call a wax ester that 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. The bottom line for us is that jojoba oil is non-comedogenic so we can use it without fear. More 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.
