Jojoba Oil is a revered ingredient in the skincare world. It is the closest substance to the natural human sebum oils produced by our skin, making it a universally powerful ingredient as it absorbs easily. Through this process, it helps dissolve stuck sebum oils and dirt that can clog pores, helping skin feel cleaner, softer, and brighter.
Jojoba is technically a plant wax, not an oil, and it delivers a full spectrum of Vitamin E compounds, plus B complex, and Vitamins A and D. Jojoba also contains minerals, including: chromium, copper, and zinc, as well as Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids.
With an incredibly long shelf-life, Jojoba acts as a natural preservative for Botanical Sea Serum.
