Jojoba Oil

Nourishing, moisturizing and protective, it makes the skin soft and supple.

Main Benefits

Jojoba oil's composition is very similar to that of sebum. It can therefore mimic the skin's own hydrolipidic film. As a result, sebum production is less stimulated. It can also penetrate hair follicles and dissolve sebum, preventing the formation of blackheads. Jojoba oil therefore has a regulating effect on sebum.

By balancing the skin film, it reduces water loss and protects the skin from dehydration.

It is also antioxidant and protective thanks to its composition of unsaponifiables, the active part of the oil.

It also has a restorative and healing action by stimulating collagen synthesis, as well as soothing properties.

Use

Jojoba oil absorbs quickly into the skin. It is non-greasy and non-comedogenic. It is composed of cerides (esters of fatty alcohols and fatty acids), making it a liquid wax rather than an oil. It is moisturizing, balancing, and protective. Jojoba oil helps rebalance the skin's pH and regulate sebum secretion.


For these reasons, it is particularly well-suited to oily and acne-prone skin. However, it is appreciated by all skin types thanks to its dry oil texture. With a composition similar to sebum, it is particularly compatible with the skin, making it also suitable for sensitive skin. It can also be used in hair care. It restores vitality and shine to dry hair or rebalances oily hair by normalizing sebum production.

Finally, it is not susceptible to rancidity, which allows it to be stored for a long time...

Jojoba oil in single-phase and emulsion systems shows an excellent lubricity without the oily, greasy feel of other lipids, especially lanolin and petrolatum [45]. It can also contribute to superior transpirational water control in the skin, thus reducing evaporation without blocking the passage of gases and water vapor. This character is due to its high molecular weight and low viscosity, and structural similarity with skin sebum, leading to a smoothing effect on dry skins and the inhibition of excess flaking of epidermal cells».
