Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil

Description

Rich in vitamins A, E, and D, which improve beauty, as well as antioxidants and fatty acids, jojoba oil actually is a wax ester with properties remarkably similar to our skin's own sebum. This means that the oil is able to penetrate deeply, reaching the bottom layer of the skin for maximum nourishment. Jojoba also has natural antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, analgesic, hypoallergenic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Since jojoba oil is able to penetrate all the way to the skin matrix, it can help carry active ingredients such as salicylic acid and retinol along with it, allowing them to do their job to the fullest. Jojoba has natural ways of protecting itself from the harmful effects of the sun. Jojoba is the only plant in the world that produces pure liquid wax esters. It accumulates these long molecules in the outer layer of its leaves to prevent UV radiation from penetrating through the leaves. The same happens with your skin when you use jojoba oil.
