JOJOBA
Jojoba is a great moisturizer that can be used to naturally treat a number of skin conditions and can easily replace many different products in your daily routine …
The jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis) is naturally found in the Southern United States and Mexico. The seeds of this plant contain nearly 50% oil by weight. This extracted oil is technically a wax ester, making it extremely similar to the oil normally produced by our skin (sebum). Since Jojoba oil mimics our body’s own naturally occurring oils, it is excellent at nourishing dry skin. Jojoba oil is very close in structure to our natural skin oil (sebum) and makes a great natural moisturizer and cleanser
How is jojoba oil different?
Unlike most vegetable oils, jojoba is technically a wax ester and does not contain triglycerides. Because of this, it is more shelf-stable than safflower, canola, and almond oils. It is also more easily absorbed and used by our skin than other oils because of its similarity to sebum.
Cosmetic Use
Jojoba oil was introduced into the cosmetic world as a replacement for whale oil in the 1970’s as a result of the inaccessibility of whale oil due to legal bans on whaling. It quickly became a popular replacement in cosmetics and is now found in many moisturizing products such as lotions, creams, shampoos and conditioners. Pure Jojoba oil is readily available and often purchased for many different purposes such as facial cleanser, makeup remover, cuticle oil and also as moisturizer for different parts of the body, like the lips and hair. In fact, Jojoba oil can act as a deep conditioning treatment for hair if left in for at least 15-30 minutes. One fantastic use of jojoba oil is as a shaving enhancement – apply prior to shaving (underneath your shaving cream) to give your skin further protection against the blade and enjoy incredibly soft and smooth skin afterwards.
Medicinal Use
Because jojoba oil can so closely replace our body’s own natural sebum production, it functions as an excellent moisturizer for dry skin. It is also able to dissolve oil-based grime on the face, and in the pores. It can be applied to the skin and wiped away to cleanse the face naturally while also providing moisture. This is often beneficial in cases of Acne and Dermatitis, particularly on the face. It can help to unclog hair follicles, which can help to prevent folliculitis, some pimples, and even some cases of hair loss.
