Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, a shrub native to desert regions of North America. Although commonly referred to as an oil, jojoba is technically a liquid wax that closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum.

Because of this similarity, jojoba oil helps support the skin’s natural balance while providing lightweight nourishment and hydration.

Its smooth texture absorbs easily into the skin, helping to maintain softness and comfort without leaving a heavy or greasy feel.

As skin matures, natural oil production can decrease, which may lead to dryness and reduced skin comfort. Botanical oils that support the skin’s lipid balance can help maintain hydration and softness.

Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, allowing it to help replenish lipids while maintaining skin comfort and balance.
