Jojoba oil is made from the liquid wax esters of Jojoba seeds. Jojoba oil shares the same molecular structure as the wax esters in our skin, making it the closest thing to our oil/sebum. Jojoba oil has a light texture, is golden yellow in colour and contains powerful nutrients like vitamins A, D and E, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Jojoba oil is naturally non-irritating and suited for use on the face, hair, nails and body.
When shopping for a jojoba oil it is best to stick to 100% virgin, cold-pressed and/or organic. One of our favourite brands for jojoba oil from Australia is The Jojoba Company – an Australian brand that produces its jojoba oils from the Wadi Wadi Jojoba beans. Their range features certified organic jojoba oil and powerful jojoba oil blends. If you are looking to use jojoba oil for the face, we suggest the Ultimate Youth Potion or the Skin Balancing Oil. If you want to try jojoba oil for hair or body, try the pure Australian Jojoba Oil.
