Golden Jojoba oil is a highly prized and versatile natural product derived from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis). Renowned for its exceptional similarity to the skin's own sebum, golden jojoba oil is a liquid wax that is rich in liquid wax esters. The term "golden" refers to its beautiful, golden-yellow colour, which is a characteristic feature of high-quality, cold-pressed jojoba oil. This oil is extracted using a cold-press method that preserves its natural properties and ensures that it remains unrefined, maintaining its full spectrum of nutrients.

Jojoba Oil closely resembles the skin's natural oils, it is easily absorbed and helps regulate the skin's moisture levels without leaving a greasy residue. This makes golden jojoba oil a popular choice in skincare products, where it is used to nourish and hydrate the skin.

Its stability and resistance to oxidation contribute to its long shelf life, making it a preferred ingredient in a variety of cosmetic formulations, including lotions, creams, serums, and hair care products. 

Golden Jojoba Oil may have a shorter shelf life compared to refined jojoba oil. It is advisable to store it in a cool, dark place to preserve its freshness and quality. 

Cold-Pressed Extraction: Golden jojoba oil is typically obtained through a cold-pressing process, which involves mechanically pressing the jojoba seeds to extract the oil. This method helps retain the natural color, aroma, and properties of the oil.

Natural Nutty Aroma: Golden jojoba oil has a distinct, nutty aroma. The scent can vary slightly depending on the specific variety and processing methods used, but it is generally described as pleasant and mild.

Moisturizing and Emollient: Like other forms of jojoba oil, golden jojoba oil is highly regarded for its moisturizing and emollient properties. It is easily absorbed by the skin, providing deep hydration and leaving a smooth, non-greasy feel. It helps maintain the skin's natural moisture balance and promotes softness and elasticity.

Skin and Hair Benefits: Golden jojoba oil is known for its versatility in skincare and hair care applications. It can be used as a moisturizer, facial oil, makeup remover, massage oil, or as an ingredient in various skincare formulations. It is believed to help soothe and protect the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote a healthy scalp and lustrous hair.

Natural Source of Nutrients: Golden jojoba oil is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. It contains vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant and helps protect the skin from free radicals. The oil's nutrient profile contributes to its potential skin-rejuvenating and nourishing effects.

It's important to note that golden jojoba oil is typically unrefined or minimally refined, meaning it undergoes minimal processing. Jojoba has humectant properties and it is technically a wax, meaning it can seal in the moisture of the skin, protecting it with a barrier, while it may be helpful in killing certain bacteria and fungi. Jojoba is similar in makeup to the sebum or oil of your skin, so it will not clog your pores, leading to fewer acne breakouts.


Jojoba oil is insoluble in water and alcohol, but soluble in other oils. It should be added to the formula as is, in the fat phase of the formulation, and can be used at 1-100%, as it can be used neat in massage oils.
