Jojoba Oil is renowned worldwide for its several beneficial properties for skin, hair, and beard care. It is extracted from the seeds of Jojoba shrub (Simmondsia chinensis) native to the Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico. Pronounced as ho-ho-ba, Jojoba derives its name from the traditional word 'Hohowi' given by the O’odham tribe of Native America, who used it for skincare and haircare and to treat sores, wounds and burns.

Before Jojoba Oil gained popularity, many sperm whale oil products were circulating in the market for their cosmetic benefits. When hunting of sperm whales became illegal in 1971, these products were finally replaced by Jojoba Oil, which showed similar beneficial qualities.

Jojoba Oil is not precisely an oil but rather a liquid plant wax ester. Being an ester makes it closely resemble our sebum, which also consists of esters (25-30% of human sebum are esters). As it resembles our sebum, it helps regulate the sebum production of the skin, thereby controlling oil production for the oily skin. Second, it provides excellent moisturizing properties as it is readily accepted and endured by our skin. It moisturizes with its dual-action - It mixes with sebum and forms a thin, non-greasy, semi-occlusive layer, and on the other hand, it absorbs into the skin through pores and hair follicles then diffuses into the intercellular spaces of the outer layer of the skin to make it soft and supple.

Today, Jojoba Oil has cemented its place in the cosmetic industry. It is packed with almost all vitamins, anti-oxidants, & minerals essential for healthy hair & skin, including vitamin E, B-complex, copper, zinc, selenium, & iodine. Jojoba Oil is a light-textured oil that provides long-lasting hydration without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue. It is very gentle and soothes dry, irritated, and itchy skin. Jojoba Oil creates a protective barrier that guards the skin against harsh environmental factors such as pollution and harsh sun rays. It helps reduce acne outbreaks by controlling excess sebum production. The presence of iodine in the oil naturally deters harmful microbes from residing on the skin and prevents bacteria's growth that often leads to acne breakouts. Jojoba Oil is also rich in Vitamin E and Vitamin B complex, which essentially combat the harmful effects of free radicals and boost collagen production, thereby delaying aging. Used on nails, Jojoba Oil hydrates and strengthens the nail bed and cuticles thus encouraging the growth of healthy nails. 

Excellent oil for haircare, Jojoba Oil deeply nourishes the scalp, unclogs hair follicles, reduces dandruff, treats itchy and dry scalp, prevents hair fall, and encourages hair growth.
