Gentle jojoba

Meet the moisturising must-have for healing dry skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and scars .

Jojoba is derived from the seed of the jojoba shrub, which originated in the Sonoran Desert of North America. Unlike traditional plant oils, jojoba is actually a liquid wax ester, making it the closest botanical match to the skin’s own natural sebum (the oil your skin produces naturally). This unique structure allows it to absorb easily, balance oil production and support the skin barrier, while remaining non-comedogenic (does not clog pores) and suitable for sensitive skin. Jojoba is rich in vitamins A,D,E and fatty acids, and provides antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which repair skin by improving collagen synthesis and fighting oxidative stress created by exposure to environmental toxins. Jojoba may be used to treat multiple skin problems, including acne, sun damage, eczema, psoriasis, sensitivity, dandruff and dry, itchy or flaky skin. Meet the maker The Jojoba Company is an award-winning Australian natural skincare company which creates products that do not just feel good – they work. It is built around one extraordinary ingredient: a unique

Australian strain of jojoba known as Wadi-Wadi Jojoba, which is cultivated on the family’s farm in Yenda, New South Wales. Grown, cold-pressed and bottled by the brand, this skin-identical liquid wax ester works in harmony with the skin to support hydration, balance and barrier health. Suitable for all skin types and all ages, it can be used on the face, body, hair, scalp and even for baby care. Wadi-Wadi Jojoba reflects The Jojoba Company’s commitment to purity, sustainability and clinically proven skin health.
