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.
