Jojoba oil: properties and recommendations for use

Jojoba oil is one of the unique medicinal and cosmetic products. They extract a precious substance from the fruits of an evergreen shrub by cold pressing - this is how all its benefits are preserved. Today it is used in the manufacture of various face, hair and body care products. The valuable composition of the oil allowed him to become the most effective and popular product in the field of cosmetology.

Jojoba oil is a unique vegetable wax obtained from fruits similar to nuts, an evergreen plant of the same name. The scientific and biological name of this culture is Chinese Simmondsia, also referred to as Johob. Branching shrubs grow in North America, namely in deserts. The main production of jojoba oil is in Argentina, Southern California, Arizona, Northern Mexico and Israel.

During prolonged treatment, the liquid remains light yellow or completely colorless. The aroma is also absent. In this case, the oil is considered refined.

After technical manipulations, the base oil fully retains its own composition, rich in mineral and vitamin substances, for which it is highly regarded in medicine and cosmetology.

Using essential oil, you can get rid of many problems with the skin and hair. This raw material is widely used in the production of expensive and sophisticated cosmetics. As the main ingredient appears in the composition of creams for the face, hands, neck and the whole body.

With it, in a short time you can get rid of peeling, sagging, wrinkles, stretch marks, scars and traces of acne. The daily use of natural jojoba oil is completely safe.

The comedogenicity of the liquid is only 2 units, which means a moderately low rate. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the applied area after each application, since the skin reaction in each person is individual. In any case, try not to abuse the product, as well as focus on your skin type. If you are prone to clogging pores and oily sheen, it is better to limit the frequency of use. In the worst case, redness, acne and blackheads may occur.

Due to the content of vitamin E, A, lipids, amino acids and collagen, jojoba overtakes other types of fatty oils. By the way, such a waxy substance is stored in liquid form at any temperature.

It must be stored in a closed container with a sealed lid. It is better to choose a glass container than a plastic one. Air can start the oxidation process, but, oddly enough, due to the high percentage of antioxidants it will go very slowly.

Storage should be dark, dry and cool. You can put it in the refrigerator or leave it in the room. Useful qualities will remain in full force, only the consistency will change. But in the freezer, jojoba oil will depreciate. Shelf life is 5 years under the right conditions. Be sure to avoid air and bacteria.

First of all, the natural product is rich in vitamin E, which is responsible for the normal condition of the skin and hair. Without this element, it is impossible to maintain youth and beauty of the skin. Jojoba plant has a very high content of this component.

The composition of vegetable wax contains long chain rare fatty acids and alcohols. In addition, monounsaturated liquid esters are available - from 97 to 100% of them.

In addition, the chemical composition includes:

• tocopherols;
• oleic acid (10%);
• docosenoic acid (17%);
• eicosenoic acid (70%);
• Proteins
• Omega 9.

The high content of amino acids allows us to call refined jojoba oil a useful substance. With its structure, it resembles natural collagen, which human skin is capable of independently producing. To preserve its youth and elasticity, the help of an additional element is necessary - elastin. In combination with collagen, they trigger all metabolic processes of cells.

Over time, both substances cease to be produced in the right amount. That is why it is recommended to use natural oil, which, without harm to health, performs the function of rejuvenation.

Among the main healing properties are the following.
