What Is Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil?
Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, commonly known as Jojoba Oil, is a liquid wax extracted from jojoba seeds. Its unique composition closely resembles human sebum, making it one of the most versatile and well-tolerated plant oils in skincare.
Unlike most plant oils, jojoba is a wax ester that doesn't go rancid and provides exceptional stability. It helps balance oil production, making it suitable for both dry and oily skin types.
