Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil

    💚Very good

    Also known as: Jojoba Oil

    Plant Oil

    What it is

    A unique plant-derived liquid wax ester that is remarkably similar in structure to human sebum, making it an excellent moisturizer.

    How it works

    Chemically a wax ester, not an oil, it mimics the skin's natural sebum. It forms a thin, non-greasy, semi-occlusive layer that helps to prevent moisture loss and supports the skin barrier. It can also absorb into the skin to make it soft and supple.

    Pairs well with

    Other plant oils
