Natural Heroes 108. Jojoba oil (Organic and Cold Pressed)

What is Jojoba Oil?

Jojoba is one of the most widely used natural base 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 not technically an oil. It is actually a liquid wax and therefore has a different composition than most other 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 for Jojoba oil during the cold winter months, it is likely that part 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, it does not cause skin irritation. In addition, Jojoba oil nourishes the hair follicles, making the hairs stronger. After showering, massage a few drops of Jojoba oil into the beard and skin, and if necessary, apply a few drops throughout the day. 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 who use Jojoba oil daily on their face notice that their skin is less dry and has a much healthier appearance. This is because the oil is remarkably similar to the sebum 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 not technically 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 extend the shelf life of other oils, Jojoba oil is sometimes mixed with them.
