What is jojoba oil and what are its properties?

Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, which is found in the desert areas of northern Mexico and the southwestern United States.

It has been used since ancient times due to its excellent properties to soothe the skin and hydrate the hair. In addition, since it is made up of 97% ceramides very similar to those we have in our skin, it is incredibly resistant to heat and oxidation. Therefore, the preservation of pure jojoba oil is very easy.

In its composition we also find a high content of vitamin E (ideal to protect the skin and hair from the dangerous rays of the sun) and linoleic acid, which acts as a regenerator of skin cells, something essential to improve elasticity. Of the same.

Thus, products formulated with jojoba oil are going to have properties that help us to:

•     Balance the pH.
•     Regenerate cells.
•     Prevent aging (that's why products with jojoba essential oil are considered anti-aging)
•     Moisturize the areas of the skin that need it.
