Jojoba – The Beauty Evergreen for Beautiful Skin
INCI names: Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Extract
Typical cultivation areas: USA, Israel, India, Kenya, Peru, Argentina, and Australia
Talent: Melts into your skin and naturally cares for it beautifully
Jojoba is a true beauty all-rounder for soft and smooth skin. It is suitable for all skin types due to its good tolerance and absorbs quickly into the skin. The cold-pressed jojoba oil is therefore gladly processed by lavera Natural Beauty into skin-loving cream textures and is especially recommended for dry skin.
Aztec cure-all
The jojoba shrub originally comes from the dry desert regions of North America but is now mainly cultivated in India and Israel. Jojoba was already known to Native Americans and Aztecs as a remedy for skin conditions and for the care of skin and hair. The 'oil', which is actually a liquid wax from a physical perspective, provides a pleasant feeling on your skin.
Fascinating desert plant
The evergreen jojoba shrub belongs to the Simmondsia family. Because the shrubs have roots about 3 meters long that are deeply anchored in the ground, they have access to water and nutrients and can survive in the dry desert.
From the seeds of the olive-like fruits, a gentle cold pressing process produces an 'oil' suitable for all skin types. Jojoba oil is a liquid wax, usually pale yellow and odorless. It contains various fatty acids, sterols, tocopherols, as well as amino acids, vitamin A, minerals, and squalene.
Jojoba Oil: All-Round Talent for All Skin Types
This suits everyone: Jojoba oil is suitable for caring for all skin types. The reason: The gadoleic acid contained in jojoba oil structurally resembles skin fat and can therefore penetrate the skin particularly well.
The valuable oil can support and improve the water absorption of the upper skin layers and protect your skin particularly well thanks to its high vitamin E content. Apart from its valuable, nourishing properties, jojoba oil is odorless and does not go rancid – which is why it is a particularly popular ingredient in cosmetics, for example as a carrier oil for other valuable care ingredients.
