What is jojoba oil?

Jojoba oil is technically a type of wax ester (polyunsaturated liquid wax) derived from the seedsof the Simmondsia Chinensis shrub, which thrives in Northern Mexico, Arizona, and SouthernCalifornia. Wax esters like jojoba oil are very similar to the sebum produced by the skin.Compared to other natural oils commonly used in skin and beauty products, it is more stable,has a longer shelf life, and is resistant to degradation from high temperatures.

There are many benefits of using jojoba oil for skin that is dry, sensitive, or acne-prone. Becauseit mimics sebum, jojoba oil regulates your skin's oil production, soothing and hydrating withoutbeing too greasy. It is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, Vitamins A, B, D, and E, all of which helpreduce inflammation and increase suppleness. Studies have shown that its anti-microbialactivity can prevent acne formation. It is also a powerful moisturizer that penetrates deeply--and effectively calms symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions.

Helps with these environmental & lifestyle factors:

Jojoba Oil reduces the effects of the following lifestyle and environmental factors on your skin.

Low Humidity Level
Keeps your skin hydrated and supple by locking in moisture even if you live in a region with dry air. Air that lacks humidity tends to dry skin out and cause itching, flaking or cracking of the skin.

High UV Exposure
Keeps your skin healthy even if you spend a lot of time in the sun. The sun's heat dries out areas of unprotected skin and ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause burning and photoaging.

Frequent Travel
Keeps your skin as its best even when you are jet-setting around the world. It prevents acne and redness flare-ups triggered by travel stress and fights skin dryness caused by cabin air.

Dry skin
Jojoba oil replenishes and hydrates dry skin prone to redness, inflammation, or irritation.
Oily skin
Although it seems counterintuitive, this emollient is suitable for oily skin too since it balances out the skin's sebum production.

Jojoba Oil is beneficial for people in the following age ranges.

AGES 20 AND BELOW
It refines the skin, making it smoother, creating a more even skin tone, a brighter appearance, and gives you radiant skin from within.

AGES 21 - 33
It is a perfect fit to address the primary skin care concerns for people in their 20s and early 30s. Make it a part of your regular skin care routine for healthy, beautiful skin.

AGES 34 - 46
This is a great time to make it a part of your skincare routine as you start thinking about incorporating more ingredients with anti-aging benefits.

AGES 47 - 64
It is a great bet for consistent, everyday incorporation in your skincare routine as it not only will tighten up your anti-aging regimen but also help you achieve firmer, more youthful skin.

AGES 65 AND ABOVE
As skin matures, it tends to lose hydration and feel dry. This helps hydrate and plump the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Jojoba Oil works well with these other ingredients

Jojoba oil does not oxidize readily, and this stability means that it blends nicely with other skincare ingredients ranging from green tea extract to ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Because it is lightweight and easily absorbed, jojoba oil can help carry active ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, and BHA deep into the skin matrix for maximum effect.
