All About Jojoba Oil

We use Certified Organic, Golden, Cold-Pressed extraction (Raw) Jojoba Oil.

Jojoba Oil is actually a wax ester, produced in the seed of the jojoba plant, native to North America. The oil makes up approximately 50% of the seed.

A Brief History of Jojoba Oil

Native Americans have used Jojoba Oil for thousands of years as a mystical treatment for sunburn, dried out skin and other cosmetic purposes such as moisturising body oils. In the 1980s it became a substitute for sperm whale oil, as out of all the compounds in nature, it is supposedly the most similar to our skin oil (sebum).
