What is Jojoba ?
Jojoba is a unique high quality oil or lipid. Native Americans extracted the oil from jojoba seeds to treat sores and wounds centuries ago. It is very similar to the human sebum or oil produced by our skin. Jojoba serves as an excellent moisturizing agent, leaving a rich velvety non-oily feel on the skin, and increasing the suppleness of the skin. It aids in keeping our skin’s natural barrier in tact, by retarding water loss through the epidermis. It is partially porous (not an occlusive) thereby allowing our skin to breathe.
