Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is a natural oil derived from the seeds of the jojoba plant, known for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. It contains fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that make it a popular ingredient in cosmetic and personal care products. Jojoba oil is used to hydrate and nourish the skin, regulate oil production, and improve skin elasticity.
It is commonly found in facial and body moisturizers, lip balms, and hair care products. Jojoba oil is also used as a carrier oil to dilute essential oils for aromatherapy and massage. Its texture is similar to the natural oils produced by the skin, making it easily absorbed and non-greasy.
