Jojoba oil is a non-volatile oil obtained from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinesnsis, Jojoba). You have likely seen essential oils—the oils we are familiar with from aromatherapy that emit a rich fragrance—packaged in brown bottles with tightly sealed lids. This is because jojoba oil is a non-volatile oil that oxidizes slowly and is fragrance-free, whereas essential oils are oils whose scent and active ingredients evaporate quickly.

Moisture evaporation prevention/sealing

Jojoba oil is a plant extract obtained by pressing the fruit of the tree, and it is a yellow, butter-colored oil. Its texture is that of a liquid wax; it hardens like candle wax when the temperature drops and turns into a liquid when the temperature rises. Coconut oil behaves the same way.

 

Because jojoba oil has a chemical structure similar to human skin components, it penetrates the skin very well and feels pleasant to use as it is not sticky.

You can use up to 100% jojoba oil.
The moisture barrier/sealing function, which forms a film on the skin surface to prevent moisture from evaporating, is for our skin
It is a good oil for very dry and dry skin because it performs its primary function.

 

 

Does jojoba oil clog pores?

In aromatherapy, jojoba oil is also called a carrier oil because it helps deliver the active ingredients and fragrance of essential oils. It absorbs lightly into the skin without stickiness and does not clog pores.

Rather, jojoba oil is a highly stable oil because it does not oxidize easily compared to other carrier oils and exists in a stable form.

 

It is effective for acne, eczema, hair nutrition, oily or dry skin, and has anti-inflammatory effects.
