Jojoba (Simmondsia Chinensis) Seed Oil

Safety First

Jojoba oil is generally regarded as safe for topical use. Because it is mild and non-irritating it is suitable for most skin types. Always store in a cool, dark place to maintain stability and prevent oxidation. If the oil smells different from when it was first purchased, it may have oxidized. Discard any oil or blend that has changed in odor or appearance.

How Does It Work

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant through cold pressing. Its chemical structure is unique among plant oils, as it closely resembles human sebum, the skin’s natural oil. This makes jojoba oil highly compatible with cosmetic, haircare, and aromatherapy.

Laboratory analyses show that jojoba oil contains long-chain esters, fatty acids, and alcohols, which contribute to its stable, non-greasy texture and long shelf life. These properties make it a versatile carrier for essential oils and other botanical extracts.

Fun Fact

Jojoba oil is technically a liquid wax rather than a true oil, which is why it stays stable and doesn’t go rancid as quickly as many other plant oils. Indigenous peoples of the Southwest U.S. and northern Mexico have used jojoba seeds for centuries, appreciating both their natural oil and versatility in traditional practices.
