Jojoba oil, unrefined 30 ml

Jojoba oil in facial and hair cosmetics

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax that has good conditioning properties. The oil has a thick consistency, but with an extremely high penetration and absorption capacity, provides a protective layer, does not leave a greasy shine on the skin and hair. It both nourishes and moisturizes, and penetrates deeply into the pores, perfectly caring for the skin of the face, neck and décolleté. This unique oil, similar in properties to spermaceti, has no equal in chemical composition in the plant world.

Cosmetic properties of the oil

The properties of jojoba oil are due to its constituent amino acids, a protein that resembles collagen, a wax-like substance. Approximately 25% of the sebum is made up of waxy esters, similar in composition to jojoba oil. Thanks to this, it is quickly absorbed, easily penetrating the skin barrier along with the biologically active ingredients dissolved in it. Mixing with sebum ingredients on the skin surface, jojoba oil forms a gas-permeable protective layer.

It is characterized by a high content of vitamin E, which determines its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, regenerating properties and ability to be stored for a long time without rancidity. Forms a thin semi-permeable film when applied, which softens the skin and helps it retain moisture (reduces transepidermal water loss), forming an airtight barrier, while not blocking the normal functioning of the skin, not delaying the evaporation of gases and water vapor.

Rejuvenates, regenerates, preserves the skin's natural moisture. It has anti-inflammatory and normalizing properties, so it is useful for both dry and oily skin.

Popular use of jojoba oil in cosmetics for child care - it is quickly absorbed, does not clog delicate baby skin, perfectly protects and moisturizes it.

Jojoba oil is simply indispensable in the formulation of sunscreen and after-sun products, sunscreens and lotions, lip balms due to its high resistance to oxidation and temperature, its ability to increase the oxidation resistance of other ingredients and its ability to reduce the negative effects of free radicals on skin lipids.

Use of the oil in hair cosmetics

Jojoba oil is also an excellent dissolving agent that effectively removes sticky layers from modern hair care products, leaving hair clean and soft. It achieves an unparalleled keratoplastic effect, which makes hair shiny and restores its natural color and splendor.

One of the main functions of the effect of lipids on the hair is moisturizing, which improves the texture and manageability of the hair. The guarantee of manageable, soft and shiny hair is to keep it moisturized at all times. This is exactly what jojoba oil achieves: jojoba oil conditions brittle and dull hair, improves its condition and protects it from unfavorable influences.
