Why We Love Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is a multi-faceted super oil! Absolutely chock full of goodies to help feed, restore and protect your skin, this oil from the jojoba shrub is high in omega fatty acids, vitamins, and has anti-ageing benefits. Jojoba oil really is a miracle oil, and Nourished Life carries a variety of all-natural products that utilise this dream oil.

Jojoba oil comes from the bean of the jojoba shrub, which grows in Mexico. It can be used as a cleanser, body moisturiser, hair conditioner, and nail strengthener. It even has special properties that may help to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks from your skin. Even better, jojoba oil is rich in anti-ageing elements, which may help you to fight wrinkles. This dreamy oil is high in omega 6 and 9, and full of vitamins A, D, E, and loads of antioxidants. Unlike most oils, jojoba oil does not give an oily or greasy appearance on application, and it’s also odourless.

Jojoba oil can aid in helping to keep your skin plump, firm, and naturally beautiful. It’s actually one of the only plants known to produce wax esters that are nearly identical to those in our skin. It’s non-comedogenic, meaning that it won’t clog your pores. This makes jojoba oil perfect for acne-prone skin because it tricks your skin into thinking it’s already produced enough oil when applied. Unlike harsh acne treatments that contain acids like salicylic or glycolic acids that strip the skin of excess sebum, jojoba oil works to control your own sebum production to reduce the appearance of acne.

To use jojoba oil as a make up remover, you can simply add a few drops of the oil to a cotton pad, and sweep over your face. You’ll be surprised at how quickly and easily jojoba oil works to remove even the strongest of makeup. To use the oil as a dandruff treatment just add a few drops to wet hair on the scalp before washing which may help remove dandruff, and naturally condition and protect your scalp.

We stock one of the best and purest jojoba oils by The Jojoba Company. Trial this wonder oil for yourself and you'll fall in love too.
