Jojoba Oil (About this sound listen) is the liquid produced in the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) plant, a shrub, which is native to southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico. The oil makes up approximately 50% of the jojoba seed by weight. The terms "jojoba oil" and "jojoba wax" are often used interchangeably because the wax visually appears to be a mobile oil, but as a wax it is composed almost entirely (~97%) of mono-esters of long-chain fatty acids and alcohols, accompanied by only a tiny fraction of triglyceride esters. This composition accounts for its extreme shelf-life stability and extraordinary resistance to high temperatures, compared with true vegetable oils.

Unrefined jojoba oil appears as a clear golden liquid at room temperature with a slightly nutty odor. Refined jojoba oil is colorless and odorless. The melting point of jojoba oil is approximately 10 °C and the iodine value is approximately 80. Jojoba oil is relatively shelf-stable when compared with other vegetable oils mainly because it contains few triglycerides, unlike most other vegetable oils such as grape seed oil and coconut oil. It has an oxidative stability index of approximately 60, which means that it is more shelf-stable than safflower oil, canola oil, almond oil or squalene but less than castor oil and coconut oil.

Here are some recommended uses:

1. Face Moisturizer
Apply four to six drops in the morning and at night before bed.

2. Hair Moisturizer
Add three to five drops to your conditioner or apply one to two drops to damp hair after showering.

3. Remove Wrinkles
Use one to three drops of jojoba oil and apply it to wrinkled areas, then rub it into your skin in a circular motion until it’s absorbed.

4. Makeup Removal
Add three to five drops of jojoba oil to a cotton ball or pad and wipe off makeup.

5. Lip Balm
Apply one to two drops of jojoba oil to your lips whenever needed.

6. Fight Infections
Add one to three drops of jojoba oil to the infected or irritated area twice daily.
