Refined jojoba oil, extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant, is a versatile and highly prized ingredient in the world of skincare and cosmetics. Its refined form offers a lighter texture and extended shelf life, making it an ideal choice for various applications.

This oil is renowned for its remarkable similarity to the natural oils produced by human skin, allowing it to absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue. Rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins such as Vitamin E and B-complex, refined jojoba oil helps to deeply moisturize, soothe, and protect the skin, promoting a healthy, radiant complexion.

In addition to its skin benefits, refined jojoba oil is also a popular choice in hair care products. It penetrates deeply into the hair shaft to provide lasting moisture and nourishment, helping to repair damage and prevent split ends. Its non-comedogenic properties make it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. 

Jojoba Oil can help prevent trans-epidermal water loss and assists in retaining water on the skin. Topical use creates an occlusive barrier in the skin, which can still be visible 2-3 days after application. Given its high percentages of Oleic (70%) and Linoleic (20%) acids, almond oil can penetrates the skin at a moderate rate, and can be beneficial as a skin lubricant and emoillient.

Jojoba Oil is a valuable addition for both soap-makers and cosmetic chemists and can be useful in many formulations, including creams, facial oils, massage oils, soap, salves, balms and lotions.

Moisturising and Emollient: Jojoba oil, including Australian jojoba oil, is highly regarded for its moisturizing properties. It is similar in structure to the natural oils produced by the skin (sebum) and is easily absorbed, helping to keep the skin hydrated and supple. It forms a protective barrier that helps prevent moisture loss and promotes skin elasticity.

Non-Comedogenic: Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores. This property makes it suitable for various skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. It can help balance oil production and reduce the appearance of blemishes and breakouts.

Skin Conditioning and Soothing: Australian jojoba oil is known for its conditioning properties. It helps soften and smooth the skin, improving its texture and overall appearance. It can also help soothe dry, irritated, or inflamed skin, providing relief and promoting a calmer complexion.

These antioxidants contribute to its potential anti-aging benefits, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.

Hair and Scalp Benefits: Australian jojoba oil is often used in hair care products due to its nourishing and conditioning properties. It helps moisturise the scalp, reduce dryness and itchiness, and promote healthier-looking hair. Jojoba oil can also help improve the manageability, shine, and strength of the hair.
