Jojoba
is not oil at all! It is a liquid
wax!
But
from the very early days of discovery - when people knew only a little about
chemistry - it is known as Jojoba-Oil.
The
important difference to “Oils” is that Jojoba
Will
never turn rancid
and
its lubricative value will not break down under high pressure - all these
properties making Jojoba Oil very valuable and unique.
Probably
the most important property of Jojoba Oil is its similarity to the sebum,
which our skin produces through the sebaceous glands.
Sebum
is the skin’s own “protective agent” - lubricating and protecting skin
and hair.
Jojoba
Oil is the natural way of doing the same thing when sebum production declines
Even
in “oily” skin - which is
mainly due to overproduction of sebum - Jojoba-Oil can be very helpful.
The application of Jojoba-Oil signals the skin’s sebaceous glands
that “sebum-production” is sufficient and therefore the glands will cease
production.
