Jojoba Oil

Simmondsia chinensis

Uniquely a liquid wax ester, not a triglyceride, making it structurally closer to human sebum than any other botanical oil, with documented improvements in skin suppleness and reduced transepidermal water loss.

Despite its botanical name, Simmondsia chinensis is native to the Sonoran Desert, not China, a taxonomic misnomer that belies its deeply Indigenous American roots.

Used traditionally by the O’odham nation of the Sonoran Desert for wound care, hair conditioning, and skin repair.

Non-comedogenic and highly stable, it enhances absorption of co-applied actives without disrupting skin homeostasis.
