The Benefits of Jojoba Oil
The jojoba plant is a perennial plant that grows in North America. It thrives in harsh, desert climates and produces a nut that can be made into an oil that can significantly benefit your skincare routine.
It’s an Effective Humectant
Jojoba attracts water to the top layer of the skin to keep it hydrated, which can help prevent conditions like acne and dandruff. Its biological make-up is similar to the sebum that your body produces naturally, so when it’s applied, your skin gets the message that it doesn’t need to produce additional sebum for hydration. This prevents the skin from getting too oily.
Jojoba is an Antioxidant
Containing natural forms of Vitamin E, jojoba can help your skin deter the oxidative stress caused by pollutants and toxins in the air.
Jojoba is Non-Comedogenic and Hypoallergenic
The oil won’t build up on your skin and clog your pores. It’s non-irritating and doesn’t cause allergic reactions.
Jojoba Oil is Antibacterial
The oil contains antimicrobial and antifungal properties that can fight certain bacteria and fungi.
It Helps with Collagen Production
The antioxidants in jojoba can help your body produce collagen. This protein helps your skin maintain its firmness and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving the elasticity of the skin.
Jojoba Heals
Jojoba oil helps cells bind back together after being scratched or cut. It can effectively treat acne and scarring with its concentration of natural Vitamin E. It can also help soothe skin from sun damage.
It Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Jojoba can help relieve dryness, flaking, and itching of psoriasis or eczema. These properties suggest that jojoba oil could help you avoid breakouts and promote healing for mild acne.
Jojoba Contains Up to 96% Ceramides
Combined with fatty acids, Ceramides are optimal for restoring and reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier, keeping it hydrated and healthy. Jojoba is the champion of the ceramides family and provides the ultimate way to protect and hydrate the skin.
