Jojoba Oil - Organic & Unrefined
Organic unrefined jojoba oil is a beautiful golden yellow in color and rich in vitamins A and E, and phytosterols. Unlike other plant oils, jojoba oil is technically a liquid wax which makes it very shelf-stable and extremely resistant to oxidation, rancidity, and degradation. Jojoba oil is also very unique because of the similarity between its chemical composition and that of the sebum produced by the human sebaceous glands that keeps the skin and hair healthy and moisturized. Because of this similarity, jojoba oil is very well suited as an emollient to moisturize and soothe the hair and skin, including very sensitive skin types. Moreover, it also has humectant properties which makes it very effective at trapping or preserving moisture in the skin and hair for a long period of time. Studies show that jojoba oil has significant anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that make it useful for skin repair and the treatment of mild acne vulgaris (chronic acne) and scalp ailments. Finally, as far as its vitamin content goes, the vitamin A in jojoba oil makes it effective at reducing signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Additionally, the vitamin E in jojoba oil works to protect the skin and hair against UV damage as well as keep the skin and hair supple and hydrated.
