Simmondsia chinensis - USA - Expeller pressed from seeds.
This pure, naturally golden Jojoba is wonderful for the skin and can be used alone or as a base for essential oils. Jojoba is actually not an oil at all, but a liquid wax, and is unique in that it has an indefinite shelf life. Used as a 10% addition to other oils, jojoba nourishes the skin, scalp, hair and cuticles, and has superior softening and conditioning properties. Unlike moisturizers, which don't penetrate through the layers of the skin, jojoba reaches the germative layer, nourishing and augmenting the health of the skin. In addition, jojoba does not clog pores, making it a wonderful choice for acne. Jojoba is non-allergenic, and is high in proteins and minerals. A very useful oil for inflamed skin, psoriasis, excema, and acne. Great for all skin types.
