Jojoba oil is an odourless, golden liquid wax obtained from the jojoba plant’s seeds. It is mainly extracted as liquid wax from a desert shrub found in Arizona, Mexico, and California. This is then refined into odourless jojoba oil.
Jojoba oil is a liquid wax obtained from the nut of an American shrub with the scientific name Simmondsia chinensis, despite the plant’s origins in China. The shrubby tree is still wild in the US, primarily in arid southwestern states. The Native American tribes have long used the Jojoba nut, which gets its name from the O’odham word, ‘Hohowi’. They used nut paste for skin and hair care and whole nuts for emergencies.
Using refined jojoba oil eliminates the need for any perfuming agents when used for cosmetic and healing purposes. It is also a suitable carrier oil for essential oils. It contains vitamins E and B-complex, zinc, copper, selenium, chromium, and iodine. Jojoba and jojoba essential oil are found in many beauty products such as hair oils, skin lotions, and creams. Jojoba is a natural skin care ingredient that has many benefits for the skin.
