Jojoba oil

Jojoba oil is not a typical oil by composition but rather a liquid wax rich in esters of long-chain fatty acids and alcohols, which are structurally similar to the skin’s natural sebum¹.
Because of this, it helps balance sebum production, improves hydration, and protects the skin barrier without clogging pores².

It contains vitamin E, sterols, and natural antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress, soothe inflammation, and slow down the appearance of aging signs³ ⁴.
