The word 'jojoba' (pronounced "hō-hō'-bə") refers both to the plant, Simmondsia chinensis, and to the extract of its seed. Jojoba seeds contain significant quantities of liquid wax esters that are similar to the natural restorative esters our sebaceous glands produce for our skin. Pure jojoba also contains alpha, delta, and gamma tocopherols, all natural forms of the anti-oxidant, Vitamin E.
Our pure jojoba from HobaCare soothes and restores elasticity to any dry skin area while conditioning and softening. Jojoba also conditions hair and scalp, prevents dryness, strengthens the hair shaft, and restores manageability.
Jojoba is not an 'oil'. If someone tries to sell you "jojoba oil" it is very likely jojoba blended with triglyceride oils.
For body use, apply a small amount of Jojoba to your entire body after showering while still wet or whenever your skin feels dry. For facial use, apply a small amount of Jojoba to your entire face before applying athenique day cream.
Jojoba is non-comedogenic; it does not clog pores so it can be used on oily and acne-prone skin. Jojoba does not stain; it washes out with hot water and detergent. If the fabric is synthetic, a pre-wash is recommended.
Jojoba does not need refrigeration. Store it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, which could bleach the product over a prolonged period of exposure. Jojoba congeals in cold weather so simply leave it at room temperature to permit re-liquefication. Keep securely closed to avoid contamination from outside odors.
