Often referred to as nature’s moisturizer for its ability to mimic the skin’s sebum, Jojoba oil is known for being hypoallergenic, which makes it excellent for sensitive skin and for use as a massage oil. It's a natural moisturizer that not only hydrates the skin but also builds a protective barrier to ensure that the moisture doesn't go anywhere. Jojoba oil has a similar molecular structure and composition to sebum, which the skin naturally produces for moisturization.

Another popular use for jojoba oil is in hair, particularly to bring in moisture. The vitamins in jojoba oil (vitamin E, vitamin C, and vitamin B) are also great for nourishing and strengthening hair when it's used long-term. ebum also naturally coats your strands, so applying jojoba where you need it the most can make your hair feel soft and even boost shine.

Similar to other skincare oils, jojoba oil contains oodles of vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties, but what sets it apart from the others is that it’s technically not an oil, but a wax ester.

Jojoba oil is derived from the seeds of the jojoba shrub, a perennial native to the North American deserts. The oil accounts for 50% of the jojoba seed and is extracted by cold-pressing, a process that helps maintain the rich nutritional value of the oil.
