Description
Jojoba Carrier Oil is derived from the seeds of the jojoba shrub (Buxus chinensis), native to the deserts of Arizona, California, and Mexico. Unlike typical oils, jojoba oil is technically a liquid wax, extracted from the plant’s kernels, also known as jojoba nuts. Renowned for its lightweight texture, jojoba oil is easily absorbed by the skin, making it an exceptional moisturizer and softener. Its unique composition closely resembles the natural sebum produced by the skin, enhancing its ability to balance and hydrate without clogging pores. Jojoba oil’s versatility makes it a popular choice in various personal care products, from skincare to haircare, where it provides nourishment, hydration, and a non-greasy finish. Ideal for daily use, it supports the maintenance of healthy, smooth skin and hair, helping to improve their overall appearance and texture.
