Who Cares For Your Oily Skin? Meet Jojoba Oil
First things first- it is ho-HO-ba oil and not jo-JO-ba.
Guessed right!- it is of Mexican origin.
Jojoba oil is extracted from seeds that grow on woody jojoba shrubs (Simmondsia chinensis). These shrubs are native to the regions of Arizona, California, and northwestern Mexico. But, how that makes jojoba oil any special, you may wonder. Ask your ancestors!
History of Jojoba Oil
Centuries ago, Native Americans identified the anti-inflammatory properties of jojoba oil. They used it to heal wounds and sores. With time, this natural oil gained popularity for its unique composition.
Unlike other plant oils, this oil is more of a wax. It coats the tree and seeds to prevent water loss- an adaptation to survive West’s arid climatic conditions. Jojoba oil is thought to act on your skin similarly. It traps moisture and protects the skin from harsh winters.
What’s In Jojoba Oil?
The waxy, thick consistency of this oil makes it an ideal cosmetic component. Long-chain fatty acids and alcohols make this oil unique and therapeutic than other plant or animal waxes/oils.
Once extracted, it is relatively pure, non-toxic, biodegradable, and chemically stable (no rancidity). In other words, it can give you soft and supple skin while naturally increasing the shelf-life of cosmetics.
This could be one of the reasons behind the increasing demand for this oil in the skincare industry- particularly in the Americas.
