What Is It?

Jojoba oil is a natural liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Despite its common name, it's technically not an oil in the traditional sense, but rather a wax ester. This unique characteristic is what makes it so compatible with human skin.

What are the benefits?

Jojoba Oil is remarkably similar to the natural oil (sebum) that your skin produces. Because of this similarity, your skin often recognizes it and can absorb it quite readily, without feeling overly greasy. This helps to create a soft, protective layer on the skin's surface, which in turn assists in reducing moisture loss, keeping your skin hydrated and feeling smooth. 
Jojoba oil is also known for being generally gentle and well-tolerated, even by sensitive skin. It's considered non-comedogenic, meaning it's unlikely to clog pores, which is important for maintaining a healthy complexion. Additionally, it contains natural forms of vitamin E, which is an antioxidant. Antioxidants are beneficial for the skin as they help to mitigate the appearance of damage from common environmental stressors that your skin encounters daily.
