Jojoba is not actually an oil, but is a liquid wax. Jojoba offers the traits of both to make it a great ingredient in lotions. It is highly penetrating and closely resembles our natural sebum. Use it to remove excess oils and to help balance the natural skin oils. Jojoba contains a natural anti-inflammatory called “myristic acid” and is therefore, a good oil for arthritis and rheumatism. It has natural anti-oxidant properties and is said to help extend shelf-life of other oils. Jojoba is a great humectant because it mimics sebum and controls its production, which is also great for oily skin, eczema, psoriasis, and hair care for all skin types.
