Description
Jojoba Carrier Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of Simmondsia chinensis, a resilient desert shrub. Technically a liquid wax, it closely mirrors the skin’s natural sebum, making it an exceptional moisturizer that absorbs effortlessly. It balances and softens skin without clogging pores, making it ideal for all skin types. Used in hair care, it conditions the scalp and restores luster to strands. As a stable carrier oil, it blends seamlessly with essential oils for customized skincare and beauty formulations.
