The original meaning of jojoba is "magical shrub". It is a plant native to California and Mexico in the United States. Its leaves are as rough as leather, and the peel will turn from green to brown. When it splits, it will reveal a shape like coffee bean seeds , and extract the oil from its seeds . The oil exudes a light nutty aroma and has a unique molecular structure. It does not contain triglycerides like ordinary vegetable oils, but is composed of esters rich in vitamin E.The composition is very similar to the sebum of the skin, so the structure is stable, not easily destroyed by high temperatures, and not easy to deteriorate.
Jojoba oil has excellent skin-friendly properties. It is a liquid wax that can be absorbed immediately by skin . Therefore, it is suitable for all skin types and can be used to remove dirt from pores and soften skin cuticles. Another characteristic is hydrophilicity, which can moisture and balance oil on the skin. It is also suitable as a hair care product for dry scalp.It has been widely used by Indians for skin care and hair care 4,000 years ago.
Because jojoba oil does not deteriorate easily, it is very suitable for making lip balms and other skin care products. It can also be added to other carrier oils to extend the expiration date .
