In 1822 a botanist discovered a small shrub in the desert area near Baja California. But it wasn’t until after the U.S. banned whale hunting in the 1970’s that this plant, Jojoba (pronounced ho-ho-ba) was cultivated to replace the use of whale oil in skincare products. Of course the Native American Indians had already been using this oil for natural skin care for hundreds of years.
Today Jojoba oil comes from the beans of this shrub-like plant found in the arid deserts of the American Southwest -- throughout the Baja peninsula south of California, the Southern half of Arizona, The California Desert -- and in parts of the Western half of Mexico's mainland as well as Australia, South America and Israel.
Jojoba is the plant oil that is most similar to our skin’s own sebum -- the natural moisturizing oils secreted by our skin. This makes Jojoba a wonderful all-purpose natural body care lubricant that helps to prevent skin and hair from drying out. It has excellent absorption properties, is rich in Vitamin E that nourishes the skin, has good anti-inflammatory properties and is great for all skin types.
Because Jojoba oil has a similar chemical makeup to the sebum oil that our skin produces naturally it is one of the most easily absorbed vegetable oils. It makes a superb moisturizer and is suitable for all skin types. Natural jojoba oil forms a thin non-greasy lipoid layer on the skin and helps soften it. Use it to fight fine lines and skin roughness.
