The actives and the oils

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba “oil” is pressed from the seeds of the jojoba shrub, native to the deserts of the south-western US and Mexico. Chemically it is a liquid wax, not a true oil, which makes it very stable.

On a list as: Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
What it does: Emollient (a liquid wax)
Where it comes from: Plant: seeds of the desert jojoba shrub
Vegan?: Yes

Why it’s in a formula

Its make-up is closer to the skin’s own oils than most plant oils, so it softens without feeling heavy. It is common in lip products, oils and creams.
