100% Pure Organic Jojoba

Simmondsia Chinensis

We are sorry but as of September 2005 and due to limited demand we have discontinued carrying jojoba oil. If you are interested in large quantities of organic jojoba, please email us.

Jojoba is not an oil but is actually an ester. It comes from the nuts of the jojoba plant (Simmondsia Chinensis) which contain 45% to 55% liquid wax ester. The jojoba plant can grow in semi-arid regions of the world and requires little water and maintenance. Liquid jojoba doesn't oxidize, is actually an anti-oxidant and will not become rancid. It can, however, self-polymerize in the presence of sunlight and for this reason we sell it in deep cobalt blue glass bottles.

Jojoba has many uses. Commercially it is used in cosmetics, shampoos, pharmaceuticals and a host of industrial applications. It is very similar in properties to natural sperm whale oil. Jojoba is a superior skin moisturizer and lubricant. Beyond being soothing, it protects the skin against premature aging due to exposure to ultra violet radiation. It also makes a great massage oil. It is non-tacky and leaves the skin with a velvety smoothness.
