COMPOSITION & FATTY ACID PROFILE

  • Nature's Liquid Wax Esters: Unlike typical vegetable oils composed of triglycerides, Jojoba is structurally a liquid wax ester, making it exceptionally stable, highly resistant to rancidity, and a natural shelf-life stabilizer.
  • 72.00% Gadoleic Acid (Omega-9) (C20:1)
  • 15.00% Erucic Acid (Omega-9) (C22:1)
  • 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.

For the Skin:
  • Comedogenic Rating: 0 (Completely non-comedogenic; will not clog pores, making it perfect for oily, combination, acne-prone, and highly sensitive skin).
  • Intense Balancing Hydration: Absorbs effortlessly without leaving a greasy residue, locking in moisture while leaving a silky-smooth finish.
  • Soothes & Calms Irritation: Excellent anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe dry, itchy, or irritated skin conditions (such as eczema or after-sun exposure).
  • Antioxidant Well-Aging: Delivers a concentrated dose of Vitamin E to fight free radicals, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
For the Hair & Scalp:
  • Scalp Balance Treatment: Highly effective at dissolving excess sebum buildup on the scalp, making it an excellent clarifying treatment for oily hair.
  • Strengthens & Tames Frizz: Coats and protects dry, brittle hair fibers, restoring moisture retention, preventing breakage, and smoothing flyaways.
