In Depth: Jojoba Oil

🌰 What Is Jojoba Oil?

Jojoba oil isn’t actually an oil - it’s a liquid plant wax.

Extracted from the seeds of the jojoba (simmondsia chinensis) shrub, it is prized for its unique composition: its structure closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum.

This similarity makes jojoba uniquely compatible with skin, helping moisturize without feeling heavy.

Many people also find it works well in routines for congestion-prone skin.
