Jojoba's Many Uses and Benefits
Because Jojoba is almost bio-identical with the sebum of the skin, it readily penetrates the lipid layer, improving its flexibility and elasticity. Jojoba is non-comedogenic and non-occlusive. It is a natural carrier of Vitamin E and a natural antioxidant. Some people say it is a mild sunblock.
Skin Care:
Jojoba is a liquid wax ester, not actually an oil. It is very similar to the lipid layer of our skin, which is coated with sebum containing 25-30% liquid wax esters. Jojoba softens and moisturizes all over without greasiness. It also:
- Soothes and calms skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema
- Repairs scars
- Reduces inflammation and prevents flaking after sun exposure.
- Removes eye makeup and facial makeup
- Prevents stretch marks, thanks to the elastic effect it provides to the skin
- Is excellent for intimate massage or vaginal dryness
- Soothes babies' bottoms and removes cradle cap.
Hair Care:
- Offers hydration to facilitate combing
- Moisturizes and gives a non-greasy shine
- Is excellent in preventing dandruff associated with the accumulation of sebum
- Helps remove the build-up of sticky byproducts from other hair products
- Tames frizziness and leaves hair manageable and soft.
