Jojoba oil is an oil-like wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant. The jojoba plant is a shrub native to the southwestern United States. It grows in the desert regions of Arizona, southern California, and Mexico. Manufacturers began adding the oil to cosmetics and food in the 1970s.

Jojoba oil benefits :

• Moisturising - works to seal your skin with a protective barrier to keep it from losing moisture. This may help prevent bacterial infections, acne, and dandruff from forming.

• Antibacterial - kills certain bacteria and fungi that can cause salmonella, an E. coli infection, and candida.

• Antioxidant - helps your skin fight oxidative stress caused by everyday exposure to pollutants and other toxins.

• Noncomedogenic - leads to fewer breakouts and less severe acne.

• Hypoallergenic - on a molecular level, jojoba oil is a wax. Although it can be absorbed into your skin, its waxy nature allows it to create a soothing seal on the surface.

• Controls sebum production -sends a signal to your hair and sweat follicles that your skin doesn’t need additional sebum for hydration.

• May help promote collagen synthesis - The antioxidants in jojoba oil may help your body produce collagen.

• May help speed up wound healing - encourages your skin cells to bind together after they’ve been separated by a scratch or cut.
