What Jojoba Oil Is
Jojoba oil is a unique liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant. Unlike most carrier oils, jojoba closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, which allows it to absorb beautifully without clogging pores. Because of its stability, long shelf life, and skin compatibility, jojoba oil is one of the most widely used and trusted carrier oils in skincare, aromatherapy, and cosmetic formulations.
