Jojoba Oil: 

Benefits of Jojoba Oil

• Provides all day moisturization – jojoba oil doesn’t evaporate like water based moisturizers can.
• It is theorized, but not yet proven, that because jojoba oil is so similar to human skin oil, it can "trick" the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil and thus balance oil production.
• Very stable – jojoba oil does not become rancid or lose antioxidants even after long periods of storage.
• Spreads well and absorbs well.
• The organic variety is free of pesticides, GMOs, and is sustainably farmed.
