Jojoba Oil: Why It Mimics Your Skin’s Natural Oils
The "smart" plant-based oil that balances your skin
Not all oils are heavy or pore-clogging. Some, like jojoba oil, work in harmony with your skin.
The Simmondsia chinensis produces a liquid wax that closely resembles human sebum, making it one of the most skin-compatible ingredients in modern skincare.
What is jojoba oil
Technically, jojoba oil is:
a liquid wax ester
It contains:
- fatty acids
