Jojoba oil is chemically similar to human sebum. It is capable of moisturising dry skin and balancing oily skin by absorbing easily and penetrating deep into the skin where cellular regeneration occurs. Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax rather than oil, so is naturally protected against rancidity and prolong shelf life of products.
It is a beneficial carrier oil that boosts skin health by working as a protectant and cleanser.
Jojoba oil is also rich in iodine and myristic acid. It promotes healing and prevents moisture loss and fights harmful bacteria growth that leads to breakouts. It can speed up the healing process and reduce skin lesions.

Photoprotective (Protects against UVB damage)
Vitamin E helps prevent signs of ageing by neutralising free radicals and absorbing UVB rays. It is also great for soothing and calming your skin, keeping it healthy and hydrated.
Alpha-tocopherol is the form of vitamin E that is preferentially absorbed and accumulated in humans. d-alpha Tocopherol is extracted from seed oils and is natural, compared to dl-alpha tocopherol which is industrially synthesised.

Is this product suitable for people with acne?
-
Yes at first, but it will absorb rapidly into your skin and won't leave you feeling oily or sticky.

What preservatives do you use?
We don't use any! Our products are oil-based and we have selected jojoba oil as our primary carrier oil because of its resistance to rancidity (it is a wax, not an oil). On top of that, we include Vitamin E into our formulations as an antioxidant to extend the shelf life of our products.
Jojoba oil can be used as a natural cleanser (oil cleansing method), an effective moisturiser, or as a makeup remover. Use as required.
