Jojoba Seed Oil
A Lightweight Moisturizer That Balances, Protects, and Softens Skin
Jojoba Seed Oil, derived from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, is a gentle, non-comedogenic oil that closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum. It is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids, making it a versatile skincare ingredient that hydrates, soothes, and balances all skin types—especially oily, sensitive, or acne-prone skin.
What is Jojoba Seed Oil?
Jojoba Oil is extracted from the seeds of the jojoba shrub, a hardy plant native to North America. Technically a liquid wax rather than a true oil, it has a unique composition that allows it to absorb easily into the skin without clogging pores. It provides deep hydration while regulating oil production and enhancing the skin barrier.
