What is Jojoba Oil?
In the ingredient list of cosmetics, it is listed as "jojoba seed oil." Jojoba is a perennial plant that grows in North America. It is a plant full of vitality that can grow even in harsh climates such as the desert.
Jojoba oil is made from the seeds of the jojoba plant.
It is often used as a carrier oil for essential oils and is an oil that blends well with the skin. Of course, you can also use jojoba oil by itself, without using it as a carrier oil.
Why you should add jojoba oil to your skin care routine
Jojoba seed oil is included in many cosmetics, from acne treatments and toners for dry skin to skin care for sensitive skin , and even anti-aging creams.
Why is that?
For those of you who are curious, here are some reasons why jojoba oil is so popular.
1. Moisturizing effect
Jojoba oil is an oil with excellent moisturizing properties. It has the ability to attract moisture to the surface of the skin, which helps keep the skin hydrated.
2. Antibacterial
It has antibacterial and antifungal properties. It has been shown to kill certain bacteria and fungi that cause Salmonella, E. coli infections, and Candida.
3. Antioxidant properties
Jojoba oil naturally contains vitamin E, whose antioxidant properties help the skin fight oxidative stress.
4. Non-comedogenic
Because it is very similar to human sebum, it does not remain on the skin easily, which is why it is said to be less likely to clog pores.
5. Hypoallergenic
Strictly speaking, jojoba oil is not an oil but a wax. It smoothes and protects the surface of the skin. Also, unlike essential oils , it is generally considered to be less irritating and rarely causes allergic reactions.
6. Adjust the oil balance
Regulates the skin's sebum balance. It works like human sebum and regulates excess sebum secretion, helping to prevent acne caused by oily skin and clogged pores.
7. Boosts collagen production
The antioxidants in jojoba oil may support collagen production.
8. Relieves dry skin
Its excellent moisturizing and healing properties help relieve symptoms such as dryness and itching.
9. Skin Elasticity
