Information of Jojoba Oil  :

Jojoba (pronounced hoh-hoh-bah) is a liquid wax that closely resembles the natural oils of the skin (sebum). That's right, jojoba oil isn't an oil at all but is actually a liquid plant wax.

This amazing oil comes from the seed of the jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) plant. This plant is native to hot arid areas of the U.S. including southern California and Arizona, as well as some parts of Northern Mexico.

Jojoba is best known for its moisturizing properties. It draws moisture to the skin and adds moisture without feeling greasy. It also helps the production of the acid mantle, balancing the pH that protects skin from harmful bacteria.

Incredibly stable compared to other vegetable oils, jojoba won't go rancid easily. It's also odorless. That means jojoba oil is a smart choice for cosmetics and health and beauty products.

Jojoba Oil Benefits:

Jojoba oil is an excellent moisturizer which is why it's an ingredient in so many cosmetic products, but there are other benefits to this desert wax.

In addition to being a great moisturizer, jojoba oil is:

• similar to skin's natural sebum (it moisturizes without causing greasiness)

• anti-fungal

• high in vitamins and minerals that support healthy skin (vitamins E & B-complex, zinc, copper, selenium, chromium, and high levels of iodine)

• antioxidant

• healing

• antibacterial

• anti-inflammatory

• long-lasting (shelf stable for a year or more)

• safe for topical use for most or all people (including kids and babies)

Jojoba Oil Recipes:

1.Moisturizer

As mentioned, jojoba oil is an amazing moisturizer and absorbs into the skin much the way natural sebum does.

2.Makeup Remover

Because jojoba is so close to sebum and doesn't clog pores, it's an excellent way to remove makeup without drying out the skin.

3.Oil Balancer

It may seem strange to put oil on oily skin but it works. Like oil cleansing, jojoba oil works in two ways. First it works by clinging to oils and sweeping them away. It also works by hydrating the skin so that the sebaceous glands (the glands that make natural sebum) don't go into overdrive.

4.Lip Balm

Because it's so moisturizing, jojoba oil can be used as a lip moisturizer.
