One of those magic ingredients is the therapeutic and powerful jojoba oil.

Jojoba Oil and Its Origin

For generations, jojoba oil has been used as a natural, organically produced remedy. The O’odham Native American tribe used it as an ointment for treating wounds. So, its benefits for the skin have been around for quite some time. It is produced from the seed of the Simmondsia Chinensis plant, a shrub native to the Southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.

Its unique composition gives it an extremely long and stable shelf-life and remarkable ability to resist high temperatures. The jojoba plant is a tough, slow-growing plant that thrives in harsh desert environments, producing a seed that is 50% oil. Though the plant is difficult to cultivate, the fields of cosmetics and medicine use the oil for all its amazing qualities. It’s used in shampoos, creams, moisturizers, or directly to the skin.

Jojoba Oil and Your Skin

Jojoba oil has antibacterial properties and can be applied directly to treat chapped skin, acne, psoriasis, sunburn, inflammations, dryness, etc. It helps reinvigorate hair growth and may be applied topically. It’s extremely vitamin-rich and helps soothe the skin. But that’s not all, it nourishes and unclogs hair follicles, promoting hair growth, thickness, and strength (for a thicker beard).

What sets it apart and elevates it into a league of its own is that jojoba oil is not technically an oil. It’s actually a type of wax or a wax ester. It’s a non-comedogenic botanical substance. That is, its composition is very close to the sebum our skin produces naturally. Therefore, the oil complements your natural sebum and balances the body’s natural sebum cover. It’s much less likely to clog the skin, hydrating more effectively than other oils.
