JOJOBA. Simmondsia chinensis. Liquid Wax. Jojoba is pronounced (Ho-Ho-Ba). Rich in anti-inflammatory Myristic Acid. Use for acne, cleansing oily skin, sensitive complexions, combines with sebum and gently unclogs pores of embedded dirt and grime. An excellent moisturiser. Pure Jojoba Oil is a highly effective cleanser, conditioner, moisturiser, and softener for the skin and hair. Remarkably, this oil is virtually identical to sebum, which is secreted by the human sebaceous glands. Sebum is nature's way of lubricating and protecting the skin and hair. Jojoba oil is also nature's way of doing the same thing when age, pollutants, and the environment strip away sebum. Or, if too much sebum clogs the pores or hair fallacies, jojoba oil dissolves excess sebum deposits, cleanses, and restores the skin's and hair's natural pH balance.
