What is jojoba oil?

Date Posted:25 April 2023 

Jojoba oil is a natural liquid wax that comes from the seed of the jojoba plant. It has a very similar chemical composition to the sebum produced by our own skin, and is easily absorbed into our skin. This makes it an ideal moisturiser for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin.

 

The first thing to know about jojoba oil is that it's not actually an oil. Jojoba oil is a liquid wax that comes from the seed of the jojoba plant. The word "jojoba" comes from the Native American language of Serrano, which means "a plant that resembles an olive tree." It's also sometimes called Simmondsia chinensis or desert gold. The jojoba tree grows in arid climates like those found in Arizona and California, but also in Australia. The fruit of this plant contains seeds with an oily liquid inside them, which is where we get our jojoba oil!

There are so many ways to use jojoba oil! You can use it as a moisturiser after bathing or showering; add it to your lotion or body cream; add it to your hair conditioner; massage it into your scalp if you have dry or damaged hair; use it as an overnight face mask; even use it as lip balm!

 

 

What are the benefits of jojoba oil?

Jojoba oil is a natural emollient that offers a number of benefits to your skin, hair, and nails. Jojoba oil is unique because it has an ability to absorb into your skin and hair, making it an ideal moisturiser for both. It's also rich in antioxidants and contains vitamin E, which helps protect against damage caused by free radicals.

It contains vitamins A, D and E which are all essential for good health. It also contains omega 6 and omega 9 - both of which are necessary for healthy skin cell regeneration. It contains fatty acids and other vitamins, but doesn't clog pores like most other oils. Jojoba oil is a natural product that can be used for a variety of purposes. It has many health benefits, including skin care and hair care.

The benefits of jojoba oil are numerous, including:

  • Helps reduce inflammation of the skin and scalp
  • Prevents breakouts on your face, neck, chest, and back
  • Relieves dryness by retaining moisture in your skin or scalp

 

How to use jojoba oil

Well, there are a few different ways to add jojoba oil to your life. You can use it as an ingredient in your skincare products or as a standalone product. The most popular way to use jojoba oil though is by massaging it into your skin. This process helps moisturise and nourish the skin while also eliminating any dead skin cells that may be on the surface of your skin.

Here is a quick list of some of the ways to use jojoba oil:

  • Topical application: Jojoba oil is a great natural moisturiser that can be applied directly to the skin. It's especially helpful for dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis because it doesn't clog pores or cause breakouts like other oils do.
  • Aromatherapy: Use jojoba oil in place of your regular perfume to create an all natural fragrance that smells amazing! Just add 5 drops of your favourite essential oil (lavender, rosemary) to 30 ml of jojoba oil before applying it as usual.
  • Cosmetic uses: This versatile product can be used on both hair and face! For example if you have dry patches on your face then apply some jojoba oil directly onto them before bedtime so they aren't noticeable in the morning. In fact, there is an entire skin care line of products made with jojoba oils as a base ā€“ from cleansers to face moisturisers and you can learn more about them below.

 

 

What to look for when buying jojoba oil

When you're looking to buy jojoba oil, there are a few things you should look out for. The first is quality. You want an organic certification, which means that the product was produced without pesticides or fertilisers and with minimal processing. This ensures that your jojoba oil is pure and clean - and therefore safe for use on your skin.

Secondly, look at where the jojoba comes from: if it's not grown in Australia, country with strict food safety regulations, then there's no guarantee that it hasn't been contaminated by chemicals during production or transportation (or even before).

You can find jojoba oil in Australia at Sassy Organics. We have a wide range of products made with jojoba oil, including skin care, hair care, and aromatherapy products - all made in Australia and they can be shipped to your doorsteps within days.

Jojoba oil skincare

There are a lot of different jojoba oil skincare products available on the market and you can find the quality ones at Sassy Organics. Here are some examples:

  • Jojoba serum
  • Jojoba beads
  • Jojoba hair oil
  • Jojoba lip balm

If you're looking for a skin care product that will help you get your skin ready for the day and keep it looking healthy as well, jojoba facial oil is the ideal addition to your daily routine. This face oil is made from pure jojoba oil, which is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants that help fight free radicals that can damage your skin over time. It also contains lactic acid, which helps slough off dead skin cells so you can reveal new, healthy cells underneath.

This oil can be used by all skin types: normal or oily, dry or sensitive - you don't have to worry about causing irritation or breakouts because the ingredients are completely natural and safe for all ages.

Jojoba can be used in a variety of ways, but we think it's best as a cleansing oil. Jojoba cleansing oil will remove all traces of makeup, dirt, and grime from your face without drying it out. It's also great for massaging because of its moisturising properties.

 

Jojoba oil for hair

Jojoba oil is a natural moisturiser that helps your hair look and feel healthy without leaving any residue or build up. It's also great for your scalp - you can use it as a conditioner if you have dry skin or dandruff.

Why we love jojoba oil in hair:

  • It can soften brittle hair, prevent breakage, and even help with dandruff
  • It's non greasy and won't weigh down your hair like some other oils might
  • It helps strengthen your hair against breakage, making it less prone to split ends and giving you healthier looking locks overall
  • It's perfect for all types of hair - whether you have curly or straight locks, thick or thin strands, it doesn't matter - you can use jojoba on them all!

 

 

Best practices for storing jojoba oil

  • Storage: Store jojoba oil in a cool, dark place.
  • Shelf life: Jojoba oil has a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored properly.
  • Safety: Jojoba oil is generally considered safe for use on the skin and hair, but it can cause allergic reactions in some people.

 

Jojoba oil alternatives

If you're not a fan of jojoba oil, or if you're looking for something more affordable, there are several alternative face oils that can be used in place of it. The most common alternative is coconut oil. Coconut oil is a great moisturiser and has been shown to have positive effects on skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. It's also antibacterial and antifungal, which makes it perfect for treating acne prone skin.

Another option is almond oil - it comes from the same family as jojoba seeds but has a lighter texture than its counterpart due to its lower viscosity (or thickness). Almond oil contains vitamin E and protein; both ingredients have been shown to reduce fine lines while improving elasticity in the skin over time. Avocado oil is another great alternative because it's rich in vitamins A & E plus oleic acid - a fatty acid known for its hydrating properties - making this product ideal for dry or damaged hair types that need extra TLC!

 

Final thoughts

Jojoba oil is a great addition to your skincare routine because it's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, which help to keep your skin looking young and healthy. It's also known for its ability to balance sebum production, so it can be a good option for those who have oily skin. The most important thing to know about jojoba oil is that it's non comedogenic, so it won't clog pores or cause breakouts - which means you can use it safely on any part of your body!
