Jojoba oil

Jojoba is a shrub important for its seeds, which contain 47 to 62% liquid wax that melts at 7° C. It is a non-sticky liquid that is light yellow in color and without any smell. Although it is more of a wax, it is called jojoba oil. This oil is not edible, but it is used both in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, as well as for engine lubrication.

It has a high amount of vitamin E and esters of unsaturated fatty acids, which have a structure similar to natural sebum. Therefore, it is suitable for both oily and dry skin. It is easily absorbed, does not irritate sensitive skin and actually soothes it. Jojoba oil maintains optimal moisture of every skin type. It reduces the visibility of scars, and is also suitable for acne thanks to its healing and anti-inflammatory effects.

It is also gentle on the hair.
