Jojoba oil – skin-identical care wax for moisture & balance
Organic jojoba oil strengthens the skin barrier, has an anti-inflammatory effect and regulates sebum – ideal for all skin types, including acne, dryness and baby skin.
Introduction / Brief description
Jojoba oil (INCI: Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil ) is an exceptionally skin-friendly, liquid wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba shrub. It preserves skin moisture, has anti-inflammatory properties, and regulates sebum production. Its skin-like lipid structure makes it particularly well-absorbed without a greasy residue, making it ideal for face, body, and hair—even for sensitive or blemished skin.
Origin & Sustainability
Jojoba oil is extracted from the seeds of the evergreen desert shrub native to the Sonoran Desert (California, Mexico, and Arizona). Our virgin organic jojoba oil is sourced from certified organic cultivation in Peru . Sustainable cultivation prevents soil erosion, promotes biodiversity, and requires very little water—ideal for arid regions.
Texture & Composition
Although often referred to as an oil, jojoba oil is chemically a liquid wax obtained through gentle cold pressing . It is highly oxidation-stable and contains:
- Vitamin E – antioxidant, protects against premature skin aging
- Provitamin A – supports skin renewal
- Gadoleic acid (Omega-9) – promotes elasticity & regeneration

Jojoba oil is very well tolerated by the skin and is quickly absorbed without leaving a greasy film.
