Jojoba Virgin Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) – Cold Pressed

Jojoba Virgin Oil has a chemical structure similar to the skin’s own sebum. This provides it with natural moisturising and healing properties and making it suitable for all skin types.

Unusual among carrier oils as it is technically not an oil at all, but is in fact a liquid wax. Due to this, its molecular structure is quite different to other oils and results in less risk of deterioration.  Jojoba oil has a chemical structure similar to the skin’s own sebum, giving it natural moisturising and healing properties. This also makes it suitable for use on all skin types.

Due to its similarity to the human sebum, it is an ideal cosmetic ingredient for skin care products. Particularly facial care products, where it helps to remove excess oils and it is easily absorbed. Jojoba oil is unique as when it is absorbed by the skin it penetrates through the hair follicles instead of coating the skin, thus allowing the skin to “breathe”. This makes it perfect for scalp treatments, serums and facial washes. It has an incredibly long shelf life due to its natural antioxidants and great stability as a cosmetic ingredient.

Jojoba oil comes from the seeds/nuts of jojoba plant an evergreen woody shrub plant that grows in hot desert areas such as Arizona and Mexico. Used for thousands of years by Native Americans to treat sores and wounds, jojoba oil is now a mainstay of the cosmetics industry, particularly for the maintenance of healthy skin.

It is a very stable odorless oil with a long shelf life.
