Why We All Need a Little Jojoba in Our Lives

Jojoba is a versatile natural oil that could well be your answer to everything from dry skin, acne and cracked lips to hair loss and reducing fine lines and signs of aging.

Originally found in the harsh arid deserts of Mexico, the Jojoba Bean (pronounced “Ho-Ho-Ba”) is one of the earth’s most natural and useful products. It's a rich natural source of vitamin A, E, and D, and has antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. This is why so many skincare and cosmetics products are made with or feature Jojoba Oil or its derivatives.

We actually think Jojoba Oil is the single most beneficial and versatile product in the world of skincare.

YOU CAN USE JOJOBA OIL FOR... Pure Jojoba Oil can be used to help reduce fine lines and other signs of aging on the skin surface. It's emollient and moisture retaining ability helps soften, smooth and plump your skin, so it looks fuller and more youthful.

Dermatological tests show that Jojoba oil increases the skin’s suppleness by 45% and after 8 hours the effect was still present. In one test 20 women’s skin “compliance” increased by 37% after 30 minutes and remained for an hour.

SUPPORTING ELASTICITY

Starting from our early twenties (even younger if we spend a lot of time in the sun) our skin starts to lose elasticity. It literally cracks with the progressive loss of elastin fibre. All vegetable oils contain unsaponifiables that are known to reduce this effect to some degree, most around 2 to 3% but Jojoba has 50%!

ANTI-FUNGAL & ANTI-BACTERIAL Studies on Jojoba oil at the University of Michigan show that 5 of the most common skin bacteria and certain skin fungi could not survive in Jojoba Oil.

PREVENTING BREAK OUTS Jojoba oil helps to break down sebum (body oil) in plugged-up pores. Sebum and jojoba oil mix readily without sealing off the skin pores. Other materials such as mineral oil can cause anaerobic microbial growth and inflammation causing redness and swelling in and around pores.
