Jojoba Oil

Jojoba is a shrub native to the Mojave and Sonoran deserts of Arizona, California and Mexico. Jojoba seeds contain a light-gold colored liquid wax ester which is the primary storage lipid of the plant. Jojoba wax (called oil) makes up 50% of the seed's dry weight. Since it is composed of wax esters, it is an extremely stable substance and does not deteriorate easily. Jojoba oil is absorbed quickly and is excellent for all skin types.
