Effects and functions of jojoba oil

Jojoba oil is a plant native to Mexico and is currently grown in many countries. It mainly grows in desert areas and has very good quality. It is not an oil, but a liquid wax. It has a good beauty and skin care effect. It is rich in vitamins and various trace elements, and it is very effective in preventing skin inflammation and treating eczema.

Jojoba oil benefits

Strictly speaking, jojoba oil is not oil, but liquid wax, so it will solidify at low temperatures. Scientists have discovered that jojoba oil's unique liquid wax form has its own unique molecular structure. Unlike the glycerin component contained in ordinary vegetable oils, jojoba oil is a combination of alcohol polymers and fatty acids. Therefore, its structure is extremely stable and will not be destroyed by high temperatures. This ingredient is very similar to the properties of the oil on the skin's surface. Therefore, unlike ordinary glycerin-containing skin care products that form an oil film on the skin's surface, jojoba provides two effects on the skin: rapid penetration and absorption and softening skin keratin, making the skin soft and elastic.

Jojoba oil is rich in vitamins A, B, E and minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can enhance the hair's absorption and maintenance of external moisture. Use the remaining oil in your hands to gently massage your scalp, which can repair the damaged keratin cells on the scalp.

Jojoba oil has very significant beauty effects on the skin. It can unclog pores, regulate the oil secretion of oily or combination skin, and improve inflamed skin, eczema, psoriasis, acne, etc. It has considerable therapeutic effect and soothing effect on allergic skin, and can restore vitality and radiance to dry hair and dry wrinkled skin, so it is a base oil that can be used for all skin types.

Jojoba oil has a distinctive smell, but it dissipates quickly from the skin, so many people don't notice it. Jojoba oil is very stable. It does not become rancid as easily as fats, even at very high temperatures. It is actually a liquid wax ester. The biggest difference compared to sweet almond oil and grape seed oil is that it does not contain triglycerides. If this substance breaks down, the oil will become rancid. Jojoba oil does not contain this component, so its lifespan is much longer than that of oils and fats.

Jojoba oil does not cause allergies or acne. It is similar to the composition of sebum, so it has good skin affinity and can help clean pores. It has a very good softness and has many uses, it softens and nourishes the skin, and is very good for dry scalp and hair, making it easier to comb.
