Jojoba Oil

Whatsapp Order

Jojoba Oil is a golden-yellow liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Unlike typical vegetable oils, it is actually a liquid wax ester, closely resembling the natural oils (sebum) produced by human skin. This unique composition gives jojoba oil excellent moisturizing, conditioning, and balancing properties without clogging pores. It is highly stable, resistant to rancidity, and rich in antioxidants, vitamins E and B complex, and minerals. Widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical products, jojoba oil supports skin hydration, protects against environmental damage, and promotes healthy hair.
