An emollient extracted from the seeds of a perennial shrub is a rich source of numerous fatty acids and antioxidants. It enhances the skin's restorative properties and provides topical skin-soothing benefits. The texture of Simmondsia Chinensis (jojoba) seed oil is similar to the sebum (oil) human skin produces, which makes it a brilliant ingredient for dry skin. Moisturizing the skin in two ways: Mixed with skin sebum, it forms a thin, non-greasy, semi-occlusive layer; and it soaks into the skin through pores and hair follicles, then diffuses into the intercellular spaces of the outer layer of the skin to make it soft and supple.
