Jojoba Oil | Soap and Skincare Carrier Oil

Description

Botanical name: Simmondsia chinensis

A vibrant yellow liquid, Jojoba oil is actually technically a wax ester rather than an ‘oil’, though the vast majority of people refer to it as an oil.  The fact that it is a wax ester is what makes it such a popular ingredient in skincare – jojoba oil mimics natural sebum, conditioning, and sealing moisture in the skin, without clogging pores or exacerbating acne

Jojoba oil is as near to your skin’s natural sebum (oil) as you can get. This is why it can help balance out your skin’s natural oil production and feels so lightweight and non-greasy

Jojoba oil contributes to a longer lasting bar of soap and is typically used at a maximum of 8-10% in cold process recipes, with 2 to 5% being the most common – usage at a higher rate can weigh down the lather.
