Escentia Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil is a versatile carrier oil prized for its remarkable similarity to the skin's own sebum. This 50ml bottle provides a generous supply of pure, cold-pressed jojoba oil extracted from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, retaining its full spectrum of naturally occurring nutrients through minimal processing.
Technically a liquid wax ester rather than a true oil, jojoba has a unique molecular structure that allows it to absorb readily without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. This makes it exceptionally well suited as a facial moisturiser for all skin types, including oily and combination skin, as it helps balance natural oil production rather than clogging pores.
Cold pressing preserves jojoba's natural vitamin E content, along with beneficial fatty acids and antioxidants that support skin hydration and elasticity. It serves as an excellent carrier oil for diluting essential oils before topical application, and its long shelf life — owing to its remarkable oxidative stability — makes it a practical choice for custom blends and formulations.
Beyond skincare, this 50ml jojoba oil works beautifully as a lightweight hair treatment to tame frizz, condition dry ends, and add natural shine without weighing hair down. It can also be used to soften cuticles, remove makeup, or soothe minor skin irritation.
The compact 50ml size from Escentia is ideal for those new to jojoba oil or for keeping in a travel bag. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain optimal freshness, though jojoba's inherent stability means it resists rancidity far longer than most plant-based oils.
