Jojoba oil is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant, which is native to North and Central American deserts. It is a popular ingredient in many skincare products, including cleansers, moisturizers, eye creams, sunscreens, and body lotions. Here are some details about jojoba oil, including its positive and negative aspects, and its ingredients or materials:

Positive aspects:

• Acts as a moisturizer and emollient agent to improve skin elasticity and suppleness.
• Contains natural tocopherols, which are antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors.
• Rich in vitamin E, which makes it an effective natural moisturizer for dry skin, oily skin, and more.
• Can help the skin retain moisture and leave it feeling soft, comforted, and nourished.
• An excellent source of antioxidants, vitamin E, and fatty acids, which makes it a popular addition to skincare products formulated for acne blemishes, eczema, psoriasis, and more.
• Jojoba oil is rubbed into the skin or applied to a specific part of the body to reap its benefits. It has emollient properties, which means that it softens the skin by trapping moisture.

Negative aspects:

• Jojoba oil is LIKELY SAFE for most people when applied to the skin. However, it can cause some side effects such as rash and allergic reactions.
• Jojoba is LIKELY UNSAFE for anyone when taken by mouth.

Ingredients or materials:

• Jojoba oil is made up of about 98% pure waxes, classifying it as a wax ester (or “liquid wax”), rather than a standard oil or fat.
• Contains natural tocopherols, which are antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors.
• Rich in vitamin E, which makes it an effective natural moisturizer for dry skin, oily skin, and more.
• Contains a few fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and arachidic acid.
• Usually, jojoba oil is highly concentrated with monounsaturated fatty acids.
