Cold pressed and unrefined, golden jojoba oil is a liquid wax obtained from the simmondsia chinensis plant. The oil makes up approximately 50% of the jojoba seed by weight and solidifies under colder temperature. A great moisturiser for all skin types as it balances the sebum. Sebum is an oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands which help inhibit bacteria, keep us waterproof and prevent our hair and skin from drying out.
With its lovely golden colour, it is excellent in formulations such as:
- face cream
-
body scrub
-
hand cream
-
massage oil
-
hair treatment
-
scalp treatment
-
soap - the higher iodine values in golden jojoba oil will make a softer bar
Golden jojoba oil and the seeds are used for
many different purposes including for treating sores, cuts, bruises, as a skin conditioner, for soothing windburn and sunburn. The seeds are roasted and used as a beverage.
