Jojoba Carrier Oil. Rich Golden and Cold Pressed, the finest Jojoba mimics the natural sebum in the skin

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba is the liquid wax produced in the seed of the Jojoba plant. A shrub native to southern Arizona, southern California and northwestern Mexico.

Suitability

Jojoba is one of the most important oils in aromatherapy skin care use. Unlike many other oils, Jojoba is chemically very similar to human sebum.

We use cold pressed, unrefined Jojoba oil as it is this Jojoba which is richest in its natural properties. All of our Golden Jojoba is Organic.

The oil makes for excellent skincare products which moisturise, nourish and protect. Jojoba also has a natural SPF of 5 which further enhances its skin caring benefits.
