5 Reasons To Use Jojoba Oil For Healthier Skin

Jojoba oils is one of our favorite oils to work with because it has tons of great skincare benefits. 

Here’s why we love it: 

1. It’s not super oily. Jojoba oil is similar to the natural oils on your skin, so it sinks in quickly and penetrates deeply. Use it on your entire body in our Moisture Me Nourishing Body Oilwithout feeling like you’re drowning in a vat of Crisco. According to Medical Daily, it's especially great for dry skin as it creates a barrier that locks-in moisture and prevents it from leaving skin.
2. It’s grown locally. We buy our jojoba oil from local Arizona farmers, so there’s less environmental impact when it reaches our facilities. It’s kind of like farm-to-medicine cabinet, no? Bonus: Our’s is organic and cold pressed, two important distinctions, according to Urban Vegan. 
3. It’s a vitamin for your skin. Chock-full of nutrients like vitamin E and B, and antioxidants and minerals such as chromium, copper and zinc, jojoba really nourishes the skin. Try our Youth Glow Balancing Serum with Prickly Pear and Omegas for extra anti-aging benefits. 
4. It soothes. Jojoba has anti-inflammatory properties to help with chafing, chapping and reduce redness. It’s the perfect ingredient in both the Happy Baby Soothing Stick and Little Bottoms Diaper Balm that protect against irritations.
5. It won’t cause acne. According to Style Craze, jojoba is non-comedogenic (translation: it doesn’t cause breakouts) and is great for removing makeup and cleansing skin. In fact, Medical News Today reports on a study that found a 54 percent decrease in acne lesions in participants that used a jojoba oil-based skincare product. It’s a top ingredient in our Cleansing Oil and Makeup Remover which is an especially luxurious way to get your skin clean at the end of the day.
