Jojoba oil is obtained from the seed of the
Simmondsia chinensis plant, a shrub native to North American desert
climes - southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico.
The jojoba seed is comprised of approximately 50% oil, by weight, and
has abundant healing properties. Nature's Shield jojoba oil is certified
organic and sustainable and is cold-press extracted for preservation of
its natural qualities.
- Jojoba
is unique amongst oils in that it is not in fact an oil, but a liquid
wax. This makes it uniquely compatible with the skin's own sebum
production and even more useful as the skin ages and sebum production
naturally decreases.
- Jojoba has antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties, thus can be useful in any bacteria or fungi- related skin issues.
- High
in antioxidants, vitamins A, D and E, it is protective against
oxidative stresses such as sun exposure, poor air quality and ageing
processes.
- May be used on skin, hair or cuticles as a conditioning treatment - nourishing and protecting tissue.
