Jojoba (pronounced ho-HO-ba) is a botanical extract of the seed of the jojoba tree (Simmondsia chinenis). What’s interesting about it is that it isn’t actually an oil, but rather what they call a wax ester. Why do we care? Because out of all of the compounds in nature, this wax ester is the most similar to human skin oil (sebum). It is non-oily or greasy and contains high levels of tocopherols, which have an antioxidant effect on the skin.
Benefits of jojoba oil
* All day moisturizing agent – jojoba oil doesn’t evaporate like water based moisturizers can.
* It is theorized, but not yet proven, that because jojoba oil is so similar to human skin oil, it can "trick" the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil and thus balance oil production.
* Very stable – jojoba oil does not become rancid or lose antioxidants even after long periods of storage.
* Spreads well and absorbs well.
