Jojoba Oil (organic)
Simmondsia chinensis
Jojoba oil, also known as "liquid wax", is a veritable nugget in the world of natural cosmetics. Extracted from the seeds of Simmondsia chinensis, a shrub native to the arid regions of North America, it is distinguished by its unique composition, similar to human sebum. Non-greasy and easily absorbed by the skin, it naturally regulates sebum production, deeply moisturizes and protects against dehydration. Particularly appreciated in aromatherapy and DIY skincare, it serves as an ideal base for blends with essential oils, suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive or oily. It is also a remarkable hair care product, restoring shine and suppleness to dry or dull hair. Jojoba oil is a must for simple, effective home recipes that respect your skin and the environment.
