Jojoba oil is a powerhouse multitasker and a key ingredient in Folli Oil products. Despite its name, it's actually a wax produced from the seeds of the Jojoba plant. Native Americans of the Sonora Desert revered it for its cosmetic properties and its ability to heal the skin.
Lightweight yet deeply hydrating, Jojoba oil is packed with nutrients, vitamins, and minerals essential for skin health. Here’s why it’s a must-have in your skincare and haircare routine:
1. Moisturises, Soothes, and Softens
Jojoba oil reduces trans-epidermal water loss by forming a protective barrier on the skin's surface while penetrating deeper layers to keep skin soft and supple. Its chemical composition closely resembles sebum, our skin's natural oil, which helps balance oil production without clogging pores. It's perfect for nourishing dry, chapped lips and boosting your skin's glow, especially if your skin is dry or dehydrated.
2. Relieves Sunburn, Eczema, and Fades Fine Lines
Rich in Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, Jojoba oil helps fight free radicals and repair cell damage. This reduces inflammation and accelerates cell regeneration, making it an excellent treatment for sunburn and inflamed skin conditions like eczema.
3. Beneficial for Acne
Jojoba oil can help reduce acne by controlling oil production and acting as a protectant and cleanser. Its richness in iodine fights bacterial growth that can lead to breakouts, making it a gentle yet effective solution for acne-prone skin.
4. Moisturizes Hair and Promotes Growth
Thanks to its fatty acids, vitamins, and nutrients, Jojoba oil is a wonderful treatment for hair, protecting it from dryness, breakage, and split ends. High concentrations of Vitamins B and E, zinc, and copper are essential for hair growth, making strands healthier and less likely to fall out.
At Folli Oil, we incorporate Jojoba oil in our Daily Treatment Oil and Intensive Care (part of the Emergency Fix duo) for its protective, moisturising, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
