jojoba

Jojoba oil, extracted from the seeds of the shrubby Simmondsia chinensis plant, is a longstanding favourite in skincare—and for good reason. Jojoba oil benefits for skin are many. Brimming with natural nourishment for skin, Jojoba’s golden oil offer a rich source of Vitamins A and E and Omega-6 Fatty Acids, which offer antioxidant support and help defend the skin against the visible effects of daily stressors like pollution or harsh weather. Together, Jojoba’s natural antioxidant, and nurturing properties work to improve the skin’s natural barrier, soothe dry skin and battle skin damaging free-radicals. This makes Jojoba oil skincare ideal for those wanting to fighting premature skin damage and ageing. That said, Jojoba is also a wonderful ingredient for oils and congested skin types as well. One of Jojoba oil’s most celebrated qualities is its ability to help balance the skin. Technically a liquid wax rather than a true oil, Jojoba closely mimics the skin’s own natural sebum, making it exceptionally compatible with all skin types - from dry to sensitive to oily. Because it’s so structurally similar to the skin’s own oils, Jojoba can prevent the overproduction of sebum and help regulate excess oil production without clogging pores – ideal for skins prone to breakouts or congestion. Further, Jojoba’s natural anti-inflammatory properties gently help to treat acne and angry breakouts. Jojoba oil in skin care also offers light yet lasting hydration, softening the skin and helping to lock in vital moisture for improved comfort and health. Multi-beneficial, Jojoba can be used by any skin type: normal, combination, dry, mature, sensitive or acne prone. Results of regular use typically include a smoother, more supple skin texture, and it’s often included in formulas aimed at calming the look of irritation or restoring balance to skin that feels dry, tight or inflamed. Lightweight, fast-absorbing and incredibly versatile, Jojoba oil can be used as a standalone facial oil or blended into cleansers, moisturisers and serums. Its gentle, non-comedogenic nature has made it a hero ingredient in both minimalist routines and more complex skincare rituals, quietly delivering hydration, nourishment, and harmony to the skin, without excess oiliness or overwhelm. read less
