Natural Heroes 108. Jojoba oil (Organic and Cold-pressed)

What is Jojoba Oil?

Jojoba is one of the most commonly used natural carrier oils and is very versatile. Jojoba Oil is extracted from the seeds of the Jojoba shrub. The name Jojoba oil is somewhat misleading because Jojoba oil is technically not an oil. It is actually a liquid wax and therefore has a different composition than most other well-known oils.

Jojoba oil can solidify at temperatures below 15° C. The oil gradually becomes more solid as it gets colder. This solid form looks like a kind of cloud in the oil. This has no effect on the quality of the oil. If you place an online order with Jojoba oil in the cold winter months, there is a good chance that some of the Jojoba oil will solidify.

How to use Jojoba Oil?

For your hair

Jojoba oil can be effectively used for dry, porous and dull hair. For example, use it as a hair mask. To do this, massage the oil into the ends of your hair and leave it on for 10 minutes. Then wash your hair as usual with shampoo.

For your beard

Jojoba oil is also very useful for beard care. Because Jojoba oil does not block pores, skin irritation does not occur. In addition, Jojoba oil nourishes the hair follicles, making the hairs stronger. After showering, massage a few drops of Jojoba oil into your beard and skin and apply a few drops throughout the day if necessary, especially if you suffer from dry hair/skin.

For your skin

Jojoba Oil has a positive effect on the skin. Often you only need a few drops of oil, making it very economical to use.

People notice with daily use of Jojoba oil on the face that the skin is less dry and has a much healthier appearance. This is because the oil closely resembles the sebum that our skin produces. Use it for skin care, against pimples and blackheads, against dry lips, as a make-up remover and as an eyelash serum.

What is so special about Jojoba Oil?

Jojoba oil is also special in terms of texture. The oil does not feel greasy and is odorless. This is because Jojoba oil is technically not an oil, but a liquid wax. For these reasons, Jojoba oil is often used in cosmetic products and DIYs.

Compared to other natural oils, Jojoba oil has a longer shelf life due to its very low triglyceride content. To make other oils last longer, Jojoba oil is sometimes mixed with these oils.
