It’s funny that one of the most hydrating and protective oils for one’s skin comes from a woody shrub that grows in the deserts of the southwest United States and northwestern Mexico. But jojoba does and its seeds are valuable to many.
Jojoba oil is odorless and colorless and stored for long periods without turning rancid. This stability reduces the need for stabilizers and antioxidants. It easily lends itself to many cosmetic products.
The seeds of Jojoba (Simmodsia chinensis [Latin]) do not contain oil but liquid wax esters. The wax esters in jojoba oil so resemble human sebum that it actually helps to balance the skin’s sebum. When using jojoba oil the body believes the skin is hydrated and protected by its own sebum and therefore does not produce more. This benefits oily skin because it does not over produce oil and potentially clog pores. Jojoba also has strong anti-bacterial properties which discourages bacterial growth that attack the skin. Dry skin benefits too from jojoba from its ability to prevent moisture loss and to act as a protective barrier.
Jojoba oil is rich in vitamin B and vitamin E and minerals chromium, copper and zinc. It’s a rejuvenating oil that benefits and soothes many skin conditions.
