Shop / alteya organics jojoba oil
Jojoba oil is a botanical extract of the seed of the jojoba tree (Simmondsia chinenis), pronounced ho-HO-ba. It is technically not an oil, but rather a wax ester. It is the most similar to human skin oil (sebum) out of all of the compounds in nature. Applying jojoba to the skin can "trick" the skin into thinking it is producing enough oil, thus balancing oil production. This makes jojoba oil non-comedogenic, which is great news for acne-prone individuals.
Benefits of jojoba oil include all day moisturization, stability, and the ability to spread and absorb well. The organic variety is free of pesticides, GMOs, and is sustainably farmed. It can be used as a moisturizer, makeup remover, lip balm, hair conditioner, shave prep, and massage oil.
As a moisturizer, adding a few drops of jojoba oil to your facial moisturizer can improve its effectiveness at reducing flakiness and improving the feel on your skin. It doesn't evaporate like water based moisturizers and can balance oil production. Jojoba oil can also be used to remove makeup, including eye makeup, without causing irritation or allergies.
Additionally, jojoba oil can be used as a lip balm by applying a few drops to the lips for a light and non-comedogenic alternative. It can also be mixed with conditioner, used on its own, or added to damp or dry hair to promote shine and moisturize the scalp to prevent dandruff.
For men, jojoba oil is a great shave prep that can be applied beneath shaving cream to prevent razor burn and leave the skin feeling soft. It is also a fantastic massage oil that is non-comedogenic, making it a good option for those with body acne. However, it's important to note that the skin irritation sometimes associated with massages may still promote breakouts.
