🌿 Jojoba Vegetable Oil (Cold-Pressed) - Simmondsia chinensis
Jojoba oil, extracted from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, is one of the most valued vegetable oils in natural cosmetics due to its moisturizing, balancing, and protective properties. Unlike many other oils, jojoba is actually a liquid wax whose structure is very similar to the skin’s natural oils (sebum) 🌸, making it ideal for balancing oil production without clogging pores. It is also non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin.
Rich in vitamin E and antioxidants 💧, jojoba oil helps fight premature aging, restore elasticity, and promote smooth, supple skin. Its light nature allows for quick absorption, leaving a non-greasy feel. It is also highly effective in hair care, hydrating the scalp and softening the hair without leaving greasy residue. Thanks to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, jojoba oil is perfect for soothing irritations and redness, keeping the skin balanced and healthy.
