Jojoba – Simmondsia sinensis
Introducing our Jojoba Carrier Oil, a natural and versatile oil that is perfect for promoting healthy skin and hair. Although we refer to Jojoba as an oil it is in fact a light golden coloured liquid wax which is why it solidifies at cold temperatures.
This carrier oil is perfect for use in aromatherapy and massage therapy. Its natural formula helps to promote relaxation and reduce stress, leaving you feeling calm and centered.
The oil contains Myristic acid which is a known anti-inflammatory agent, so it is thought to be a useful oil to put in mixes for arthritic and rheumatic conditions. Jojoba is a go-to oil for a variety of dry skin conditions. It is also soothing for sunburn, nappy rash and chapped skin. It can also help to improve the texture and shine of the hair, leaving it looking healthy and vibrant.
Jojoba has also saved the lives of thousands of whales. In the past sperm whales were killed for the spermaceti wax, which was used extensively in cosmetics, then it was discovered that Jojoba was a good alternative and the practice was stopped so Jojoba is now used in a variety of cosmetics, creams and lotions. Truly beauty without cruelty. Click here to read about how Jojoba saves Whales.
Our Jojoba Carrier Oil is made from pure and natural Jojoba seeds that are carefully cold-pressed to create a high-quality oil formula. The oil has a light and non-greasy texture that is perfect for moisturising the skin and hair without leaving any residue.
