Jojoba Oil is a wax. It is highly stable with a long shelf life. Jojoba is said to act as a natural anti-inflammatory and is a good choice for use in massage and inflamed skin conditions. It is said that its composition is similar to that of the skin’s natural sebum (oil).
Carrier oils are used to dilute essential oils and “carry” them to your skin. That’s because essential oils are very strong and can cause irritation when applied directly to your skin. Most carrier oils are unscented or lightly scented and don’t interfere with an essential oil’s
therapeutic properties.
Internal: No
Topical: Yes
Jojoba oil absorbs easily into the skin and doesn’t clog pores. This makes it a good carrier oil option for massage oils, facial moisturizers, and bath oils.
You can use it as a lip balm to soothe dry, cracked lips, or you can apply it all over your face before bed as an anti-aging serum. You may also mix jojoba oil with other natural acne-fighting ingredients into a DIY mask treatment to improve acne, as participants in one
study did.
