COMPOSITION & FATTY ACID PROFILE

- Active Compounds: Rich in natural Vitamin E (tocopherols) and powerful antioxidants.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Keep tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Jojoba has an extremely long shelf life due to its wax ester structure and natural antioxidant content. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
SHORT DESCRIPTION & INTERESTING FACTS
- The Sebum Twin: Jojoba "oil" is actually a liquid wax with a molecular structure that closely mimics human sebum—the natural oil produced by our skin. This incredibly special property allows it to penetrate deeply and balance the skin's natural pH.
- Smart Sebum Regulator: Jojoba is a "smart" botanical ingredient. Depending on your skin type, it will naturally decrease or increase your skin’s sebum production. It halts overproduction in oily or acne-prone skin while deeply revitalizing and comforting dry skin.
- Natural Shield Booster: Jojoba possesses a mild natural sunscreen agent equivalent to SPF 5, helping to shield your skin from environmental stressors and UV radiation either when used on its own or incorporated into base creams and lotions.
- Multi-Purpose Elixir: Known as "Goat Nut" or "Wild Hazel" historically, it functions as a natural preservative in custom creations, enhancing the stability and preventing oxidation of your delicate homemade cosmetic blends.
