Emollient, Skin Conditioning

This oil comes from the seeds of the desert shrub called Jojoba. It is more commonly known as jojoba oil, a non-comedogenic oil.

Jojoba oil does not contain fragrance and has many fatty-acids, making it a great soothing ingredient.

It also contains Vitamin E, a great moisturizing ingredient. Vitamin E is also an antioxidant and protects your skin against oxidative damage.

This ingredient humectant properties, meaning it helps draw moisture from the air. This helps keep your skin hydrated.

While jojoba has antibacterial properties, it is only able to kill some strains of bacteria.

Studies also show it helps in wound healing. In fact, Indigenous cultures have used jojoba as a moisturizer and to help treat burns for centuries.

Fun fact: Jojoba oil similar to natural human skin sebum, so it has a great effect on dry skin. It is also promising with helping to regulate sebum production.

Due to its fatty acid content, Jojoba oil may not be fungal acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.

I love this oil-based cleanser! I’ve stuck with it for a while because it’s so hard to find a good oil-based cleanser for double cleansing. This has lasted me at least four months and my skin always feels so clean and soft after. Other oil-based cleansers sometimes feel super heavy and have resulted in breakouts for me. It can also be hard to find oil-based cleansers that don’t have a ton of oils Show more

The best cleanser I have and ever will use. Nothing compares. Removed makeup. Balances. Restores. Improves my eczema. I shave with it. My skin and face are lost without it.
