Jojoba oil is extracted from the beans of the Simmondsia Chinensis, a plant native to the southwestern US and northern Mexico, through a cold-pressing process. Calling it an oil is actually a misnomer since it is technically a wax.
Skin Benefits
All skin types will benefit from this light liquid wax, but those with dry skin will truly cherish it. Acting as an emollient, jojoba oil softens the feel of the skin and makes it more pliable. Thanks to its unique content of long-chain fatty acids, it is an exceptional occlusive, preventing the skin to lose water. Various scientific studies have been done on the wax of the jojoba bean, and while none are conclusive, they all show evidence that it has the ability to eliminate signs of redness and sensitivity and improve the overall appearance of the skin in the long-term.
