Moisturizer, wrinkle remover and pimple killer for the skin, frizz tamer, shine booster and vitamin bomb for the hair – jojoba oil promises to be a real beauty hero. But what are the real beauty benefits? We explain how and why jojoba oil can make you beautiful, which ingredients are so valuable, how you can use jojoba oil on your skin, hair and nails and what you should consider when buying it.
What is jojoba oil?
First of all, despite its name, jojoba oil is not an oil at all, but strictly speaking a wax. It is pressed from the seeds of the jojoba bush , an evergreen shrub that grows mainly in Central and South America. It remains hard when cold, but becomes liquid at room temperature. Jojoba oil is non-toxic, well tolerated by all skin types and has a long shelf life.
But it became a beauty oil primarily because it is non-greasy, has an antibacterial effect, is odorless and offers a wide range of benefits for skin, hair and nails. We explain here which properties and ingredients make it so valuable.
How does jojoba oil work?
The wax-like extract of jojoba seeds consists mainly of valuable fatty acids and is rich in vitamin E and provitamin A, as well as vitamin B6 and various minerals. All of these are active ingredients that naturally care for and nourish skin and hair. The fatty acids are quickly absorbed into the skin without leaving an oily film. Vitamin E has a strong antioxidant effect, protects the skin from free radicals and inhibits skin aging. Provitamin A (or beta carotene) is also an important antioxidant, supports cell regeneration and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Vitamin B6 regulates the skin’s sebum production. The rich, liquid wax is particularly moisturizing and yet absorbs quickly. It is also easily tolerated and safe even for sensitive skin.
