Description and Uses of Jojoba Oil
Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) is a liquid plant wax whose composition is similar to that of skin sebum. Lightweight with a non-greasy feel, it absorbs easily without clogging pores. Appreciated in cosmetics for its regulating and softening effect, it helps balance the appearance of combination to oily skin while providing a sensation of comfort to dehydrated or sensitive skin. It is also suitable as a gentle makeup remover, including for the eye contour.
Used on hair, it sheaths the fiber, promotes shine, and leaves a supple feel without weighing it down. Integrated into daily care, it contributes to uniform-looking skin and visibly softer and more luminous hair.
