Here’s why you’ll wanna add jojoba oil to your soulcare ritual ASAP.
– KEYS SOULCARE
Studying natural beauty remedies reveals an enduring legacy passed down through generations. Indigenous cultures around the globe have long harnessed the potency of local plants and herbs for both wellness and cosmetic purposes, imparting their wisdom to the world.
In this tradition, natural oils emerge as coveted skincare treasures. Whether it’s the versatility of coconut, the age-defying magic of marula, or the delicate elegance of camellia seed, oils have weaved their stories into the fabric of beauty routines for centuries.
Today, we’re shining a light on another oil transforming the skincare landscape — jojoba oil.
WHAT IS JOJOBA OIL
Jojoba oil, pronounced “ho-ho-ba,” is derived from the seeds of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis) — a resilient shrub native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. While its name might be a tongue-twister, the oil’s soothing and nourishing properties are a beauty lover’s dream.
IS JOJOBA OIL GOOD FOR YOUR SKIN?
Whether your skin is dry or prone to breakouts, jojoba oil plays nice with many skin types. Jojoba oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E and it contains a variety of other micronutrients, helping skin appear vibrant and imparting a healthy-looking glow.
Jojoba oil functions as both an emollient and humectant for your skin, meaning it helps skin retain moisture while helping balance and hydrate. Because of this, jojoba oil is loved and well-tolerated by both dry and oily skin types.
JOJOBA OIL BENEFITS FOR SKIN
Jojoba oil is like nature’s gift to your skin and hair, offering a wide range of benefits. Here are a few reasons why this ancient ingredient is your gateway to beauty bliss:
HYDRATION
Jojoba oil isn’t just any moisturizing ingredient. Because it’s both an emollient and humectant, think of it like a velvet cloak, helping seal in moisture and helping your skin stay fresh-feeling and radiant-looking.
RICH IN ANTIOXIDANTS & VITAMINS
Jojoba oil happens to be rich in antioxidants like Vitamin E, which helps soothe and hydrate.
Jojoba oil is also often used in moisturizers, as it’s rich in antioxidants and “contains vitamin D and other fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A” (Source).
HELPS NOURISH HAIR
It’s not just your skin that gets the VIP treatment. Jojoba oil works wonders for your hair too. You can wave goodbye to the appearance of frizz while lavishing your scalp with some extra TLC.
JOJOBA VS. ARGAN OIL
This scientific review of plant-based cosmetic oils goes into detail about the differences between jojoba vs. argan oil. When it comes to skincare, choosing between argan vs. jojoba oil comes down to personal preference and skin type. Those with dry or mature skin may enjoy the thicker texture of argan oil, whereas jojoba is well known as a lightweight-feeling oil.
Argan oil, on the other hand, is more often seen used in hair treatments like conditioners and rich skin serums designed for mature or dry skin types. In skincare, it can have a thicker, more greasy texture than jojoba oil, which is a more lightweight oil than argan.
