It's amazing for skin, it’s sustainable, it does it all. Locally grown and drought tolerant, it is as sustainable as it is effective! Jojoba oil comes from the seeds of the Jojoba plant, a shrub native to the South West with a long history of indigenous use. Deceiving as it may be, Jojoba oil is actually not an oil at all but a semi-solid wax! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIts unique chemical composition of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and wax esters makes for a non skin-clogging super emollient that's hypoallergenic and perfect for daily use. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: SouvenirLight;\"\u003eMoisturization Powerhouse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eJojoba Seed Oil moisturizes and soothes skin, of all types, so your body doesn’t have to work too hard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt is a humectant very similar to naturally produced sebum. Translation: It’s a super moisturizing plant that creates a barrier over your skin to protect you from moisture loss. This may benefit skin that is prone to acne, wrinkles, or dandruff. Because Jojoba oil is so similar to the sebum that our skin produces naturally, it’s also able to help regulate our body’s hair and sweat follicles from excessive oil production, as a means of hydration. It basically tells your body “I’ve got this.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: SouvenirLight;\"\u003eNutrient-Rich\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe benefits seem to be never ending when you factor in that it is also an antioxidant, rich in vitamin E. This means it is able to protect skin from environmental stressors that can negatively impact your skin, like pollution in the air and smoke. The natural forms of Vitamin E found in Jojoba oil attribute to other healing and soothing properties. Jojoba oil can be used to aid the healing process of wounds, sunburns and scar tissue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1792\/8179\/files\/jojoba_support_1024x1024.png?v=1617384346\" style=\"float: none;\" width=\"1024x1024\" height=\"1024x1024\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: SouvenirLight;\"\u003ePerfect for all skin types\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis wonder ingredient is all-inclusive and well-suited for sensitive skin.
